Voters are rejecting the Left’s war on common sense

Democrats seem to have convinced themselves that locking parents out of their students’ classrooms and eliminating sex-based protections in schools will win them elections. However, a new poll suggests the opposite.

The American Principles Project found in a survey of several battleground states that the vast majority of voters oppose leftist positions on transgender and education issues. For example, when asked whether they support laws prohibiting biological males from competing on girls’ K-12 sports teams, 56% of respondents said they supported such measures, while only 33% opposed them. Another 56% of respondents said they support laws banning puberty blockers, hormonal treatments, and physical sex-change surgeries for minors; 60% said they support a Florida law forbidding public schools from teaching K-3 students about sexual, age-inappropriate subjects, including gender ideology and sexual orientation; and 59% said they would support a law requiring public schools to notify parents if their child begins identifying as transgender.
