Americans are divided on whether gender identity should be taught in schools, as shown by two recent polls. Democrats, teachers, and teenagers are split on the issue, while there is broader support for teaching about race. The surveys reveal complex views on these divisive topics, with opinions varying based on the age of the students and the specific issues being addressed. The results also highlight the influence of partisan politics on public opinion, with state laws often not reflecting the diversity of views within the majority party. Teachers and teenage students are also divided on whether gender identity should be taught in schools, with a significant portion expressing opposition to such instruction.
