WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans are deeply divided over how much children in K-12 schools should be taught about racism and sexuality. The University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy and The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll suggests Americans are slightly leaning toward expanding — not cutting back — discussions of sex and race. However, about 40% of Americans say the current approach is about right. The poll comes as Republicans across the U.S. seek to make parental involvement in education a central theme this election year.
