Education Becomes a Winning Issue for Republicans

Parents -- especially minority parents -- are clearly revolting against governors, school boards, and their teachers'-union overlords.

A new poll by Morning Consult of battleground states shows that for the first time in anyone's memory, Democrats have lost the trust advantage they had with voters on education. Democrats had a 15-point edge on that question as recently as 2020. Now the GOP has a four-point advantage.

With parents, the margin is nine percentage points, and with voters of color, the gap is ten points as minority parents revolt against lockdown, mask mandates, and "woke" classroom learning.

The pandemic revealed the anti-student agenda of progressive leaders. Voters are ready to render a verdict on it this November.
