The National Review has a right wing bias, and has been called the “bible of American conservatism”. Since “school choice” is a conservative policy, it’s unsurprising that the NR ran an article that purports that it’s a popular policy. If we look at the source for the polls the article is based on, they cite polls from a lobbyist group specifically built to push policy on “school choice”.
This doesn’t seem like a reputable source for making the argument that voters actually support this policy.
- rayiner 7y agoThis survey, conducted by among other people a professor at the Harvard School of Education, found similar results: https://www.gse.harvard.edu/news/19/08/ednext-poll-democrats-divided-over-school-choice https://www.gse.harvard.edu/news/19/08/ednext-poll-democrats... School choice isn’t a “conservative” policy. Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, etc., have extensive school choice. The US is actually an outlier in the OECD for prohibiting private schools from getting any public funding: http://www.oecd.org/education/School-choice-and-school-vouchers-an-OECD-perspective.pdf http://www.oecd.org/education/School-choice-and-school-vouch...
