Obama Misreads the Room

Power Line’s John Hinderaker quotes the findings of a Rasmussen Reports poll which looked at whether former president Obama was correct to call parental concerns over Critical Race Theory and transgenderism in public schools “phony trumped-up culture wars.” How did Americans respond?

A new national telephone and online survey by Rasmussen Reports and Human Events finds that 76% of American Adults are concerned that public schools may be promoting controversial beliefs and attitudes, including 58% who say they are Very Concerned. Only 21% are not concerned about schools promoting controversial beliefs.

Only 28% of whites, 23% of blacks and 25% of other minorities believe parental concerns about transgenderism and CRT in public schools are phony issues.

It appears the former president misreads public opinion yet again. Maybe the neighbors on Martha’s Vineyard are out of step?
