A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 84 percent of voters believe that "parents should be able to see all curriculum plans and materials for classes their children take," while 12 percent said they disagreed and 5 percent said they are not sure.
In addition, the survey found that 44 percent of voters believe many schools teach a radical ideology that would be offensive to parents, 36 percent disagree while 19 percent are not sure.
Another factor in the support for transparency comes from the fact that 68 percent believe most public schools have lowered standards rather than demanding more from students, according to the survey.
Most voters (56 percent) believe public school boards do not respect the role of parents. On that point, 34 percent disagree.
These results come as Republican states across the country ban controversial teachings such as Critical Race Theory from being taught in public schools and bring forth legislation for students to have the ability to decide which public school they will get to attend instead of it being determined by their zip code. In contrast, Democratic governors passed Critical Race Theory through legislation and seek to block the option for students to have "school choice."
Virginia's newly elected Governor Glenn Youngkin, the first Republican governor to take the oath of office there in 12 years, is waging war against woke indoctrination with an education plan meant to raise the state's academic standards.

What’s wrong with the 16% that don’t want parents to see the curriculum?
14% of voters work for public schools 🤪
16
Oh, what a surprise! Some taxpayer-funded monstrosity isn’t delivering on its promises.
What in the hell is the argument for parents not being permitted to see the educational materials presented to students?? Schools are public institutions, and teachers are public employees. The idea that parents (and voters) shouldn’t be permitted to see how their tax dollars are being put to use is ridiculous.
Can you say “Propaganda”!
The 16% opposed work for school district - teachers and administrators..
Sorry I didn’t read it correctly.
Parents are ultimately responsible for their kids’ edumacation.
Thus it has always been.
Sixteen percent of parents are hard leftists or teachers, with significant overlap thereof.
There are no longer “Public Servants”.
They are your Rulers.
Those parents are the ones who can't read and vote for Democrats because they sit on their lazy ass, collect their crazy-checks, and watch the View and late night talk shows to get their news.
16% are idiots who should not have children.
I have yet to find a parent who’s cracked his/her kid’s textbook to see what’s in it.
What’s wrong with the 16% that don’t want parents to see the curriculum?

Those 16% think “curriculum” is a dirty word, so of course they don’t want to see curriculum out in public places.
What ever happened to talking to your child about their school day, going to the school to meet and talk to the teachers? How hard is it to look over the child’s lessons each night and for goodness sake school curricula aren’t and shouldn’t be treated like state secrets
