Sooner Survey: Volume 33 No. 6 ⎸August 20, 2021 ⎸Fully 82% of Oklahoma voters have some level of awareness of “Critical Race Theory, also known as CRT” and among that 82%, almost twice as many oppose (58%) it being taught in public schools than support it (30%).  Furthermore, when CRT is explained in a way used in a national study, only 19% of all Oklahomans think it should be taught in our elementary schools.

Support for School Choice Continues to Increase

Sooner Survey: Volume 34 No. 1 ⎸March 1, 2022 | Prior to the pandemic, and prior to the parent revolution over issues such as CRT and who is fundamentally in control of a child’s education, school choice had majority support in Oklahoma and strong support among Republicans. Now support for using tax dollars to send a child to a school setting that best serves them – including private or parochial schools ‒ is even stronger reaching 65% among all voters and 78% among Republicans.
