Poll Finds That Most Millennials Support Private School Vouchers, But Favor Censoring 'Offensive' Political ViewsA whopping 88 percent of Latino millennials think suppressing free speech is warranted under certain circumstances, followed by 81 percent of Asians, blacks and whites.
A recent report by GenForward, a University of Chicago national bimonthly survey of 18-34 year olds, shows support across all races for charter schools, with blacks showing the strongest support at 65 percent, followed by 61 percent of Asians, 58 percent of Latinos, and 55 percent of whites. And support was even higher for vouchers used to cover private school tuition for low-income students. USA Today reports: The survey shows most millennials also support universal vouchers for all students, regardless of income. And while millennials seem to disagree with teachers unions and most Democrats about the need for school choice, the data shows many seem to buy the liberal perspective that money, rather than parents, can fix the problems plaguing public schools.
"At the very basic level, I think it reveals complexity," GenForward researcher Vladimir Medenica told USA Today. "Millennials really think about education holistically," said Medenica. "They don't fall neatly on either side of an education-reform or union-based debate. They have a rounded understanding of education and a rounded preference in terms of how to approach some of these issues." Other interesting findings centered on free tuition at public colleges and freedom of speech. Vast majorities of millennials think "free" college is a good idea, with support from 86 percent of blacks, 84 percent of Asians, 85 percent of Latinos, and 73 percent of whites. As for freedom of speech, "majorities of all millennials support limiting (either in all or in extreme cases) language that is intentionally offensive to certain groups," according to the report. A whopping 88 percent of Latino millennials think suppressing free speech is warranted under certain circumstances, followed by 81 percent of Asians, blacks and whites. That support for censorship extends to racially insensitive costumes and political views that upset certain groups. Sixty percent of blacks, 73 percent of Asians, 71 percent of Latinos and 61 percent of whites surveyed support school officials limiting political speech in either all or "extreme" circumstances.
