Description

The central research question guiding this study is: how do partisan progressive and conservative politics influence students’ experiences with inclusive education, particularly concerning education on race and LGBTQ+ topics? My findings reveal that among students from both politically conservative and progressive states, inclusive education was most prevalent and positively received when delivered through non-formal channels. However, disparities emerged between the two groups. Students from politically progressive states were more likely to notice and benefit from informal instruction compared to their counterparts from politically conservative states.
