It's Time to Teach the Truth: A Report on American Attitudes Towards K-12 Education
As the U.S. grapples with waves of book bans and anti-inclusive education policies, a representative poll of 1,000 U.S. voters, conducted by Brilliant Corners Research & Strategies on behalf of the Black Education Research Center (BERC), revealed that an overwhelming majority support teacher agency and inclusive curriculum.
Titled It’s Time to Teach the Truth: A Report on American Attitudes Toward K-12 Education, the results and corresponding analysis also suggest that attacks on education don’t resonate with the general public and Americans are supportive of including Black and ethnic studies units into K-12 curriculum.
BERC unveiled the results with a presentation by renowned pollster and President of Brilliant Corners, Cornell Belcher, followed by a conversation and Q&A with Belcher and Sonya Douglass, Director of BERC and Professor of Education Leadership.Add description
