Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : 'It still force feeds our children the socialist dogma that capitalism is oppression.'
47% : Ethnic studies courses address institutionalized systems of advantage, and address the causes of racism and other forms of bigotry including, but not limited to, anti-Blackness, anti-Indigeneity, xenophobia, antisemitism, and Islamophobia within our culture and governmental policies.
45% : The new curriculum better addresses the experiences of Jewish, Middle Easter, North African and Armenian groups while removing language that directly associates oppression with capitalism.
33% : The bill, which was first reposed in 2016, received stark criticism as opponents claimed it was filled with radical ideology and obscure jargon and bias against capitalism.
