Dear John,

A new leger poll commissioned by the Fraser Institute finds that parents with kids in K-12 schools across Canada value balance rather than bias in classrooms, as well as parental involvement and consent.

The poll finds that:

76% of parents agree that students should be presented with both sides of controversial issues or avoided entirely. 91% of parents think classroom material and discussions should always be age-appropriate. 82% of parents believe that schools should provide advance notice of controversial topics being discussed in class or during formal school activities. 7 in 10 parents believe that parents should have the right to remove their child from a specific lesson on a controversial issue, with no consequence to their child’s grade.

Parents overwhelmingly value balance, not bias. They want their kids to be taught age-appropriate facts rather than opinions and expect prior notice so they may offer informed consent about anything controversial happening in their kids’ schools.

Sincerely,

Niels Veldhuis
