Top reasons K-12 public school teachers limit political or social topics U.S. 2023
According to a survey conducted in 2023, 18 percent of teachers at K-12 public schools in the United States said that the number one reason that they decided, on their own, to limit discussion of political and social topics in the classroom was because they were not sure that their school or district leaders would support them if parents expressed concerns. In comparison, 15 percent said that their top reason was that they did not feel confident that they know enough about these topics to address them with their students.
