Do Idaho voters support pro-family, conservative, and biblically sound policy reforms? That’s what our annual “Idaho Family Policy Poll” seeks to discover—and we’re excited to release the first round of results!
This scientific public opinion poll – commissioned by Idaho Family Policy Center – utilized a large, representative sample of likely Idaho voters. Respondents were contacted by landline and mobile phone using interactive voice response (IVR) technology.
The questions focused on some of the top policy issues facing the Idaho families. We promise that we’ll share all the results over the next few days. But today, let’s focus on what Idaho voters think about parental involvement in their children’s education and the LGBT agenda in public schools.
1. Idahoan voters overwhelmingly agree that public schools should not withhold information from parents about their children.
Nearly 6,000 schools nationwide have enacted policies requiring school officials to conceal information from parents when their children begin identifying as the other gender at school, according to reporting from the New York Post.
That includes Idaho, where a Coeur d’Alene school made headlines a few years back after helping a 10-year-old girl socially transition without notifying her family.
Unsurprisingly, Idahoans stand in strong opposition to these anti-parent and anti-family policies. According to our polling, more than 83% of likely Idaho voters want schools to share information relevant to a child’s physical, emotional, or mental health with parents.
Believe it or not, this is one area where both sides of the political spectrum agree: self-identified conservatives (95%) and liberals (64%) both don’t want schools hiding this important information from parents.
