61% : According to a recent poll by Education Next, an education policy publication, nearly 2 million students in the United States are no longer attending public schools and are choosing alternative learning options.
56% : The poll indicated that between 2020 and 2022, the number of students in public schools dropped by 4 percent.
50% : This has increased the number of students in private schools, charter schools, and homeschooling programs from 8 percent in the spring of 2020 to 10 percent in 2022.
44% : The bill would establish an "anti-indoctrination pedagogy" to prevent teachers or other school district employees from forcing students to adopt or adhere to beliefs that violate the Civil Rights Act; particularly those involving inequality or unequal treatment based on race, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, disability, age or family status.
