The article claims that a Sept USA Today/Ipsos poll found that "83 percent of Black parents are in favor of CRT in their children’s schools." That survey was of 2,010 adults - not parents. There were only 427 parents in sample of whom ~65 would be black. ipsos.com/sites/default/…
The author's argument hinges around this claim of overwhelming support from black parents, but it cannot draw strong conclusions from sample of 65 black parents, which appears to be the case from the poll cited.
Also unable to find the Fox News survey results described in the article. Have requested links to the surveys cited in the piece from @kalihollowayftw@thenation
This Economist/YouGov poll released in June finds that 68% of black adults and 31% of white adults have at least a somewhat favorable opinion of CRT. This is still not parents and shows less support than what was claimed in the @thenation article. newsweek.com/majority-ameri…
@thenation The 83% of black parents claim is made in this USA Today article, but it appears to be the source of the error that @thenation article is repeating. The Ipsos documentation clearly describes the survey as being of 2,010 adults with 427 total parents amp.usatoday.com/amp/5772418001
