As national debates over what should be taught in K-12 schools continue, our team's new report brings together views of teachers, teens and the U.S. public to examine how these debates are playing out in the classroom. Some key findings: ➡ A sizeable share (41%) of public K-12 teachers say these debates have had a negative impact on their ability to do their job. ➡ 71% of teachers say teachers themselves don't have enough influence over what's taught in public schools in their area. ➡ 38% of teens say they feel comfortable when topics related to racism or racial inequality come up in class (among those who say these topics have come up). A smaller share (29%) say they feel comfortable when topics related to sexual orientation or gender identity come up. ➡ Among the American public, more say parents should be able to opt their children out of learning about LGBTQ issues than say the same about topics related to race (54% vs. 34%).
