Love this coverage from @the74.bsky.social of our new report, out today, on Americans' views on civics education in schools. We find surprising bipartisan support for nearly all forms of civics ed., and nearly all topics. www.the74million.org/article/amid...

Amid Polarization, Civics Education Enjoys Bipartisan Support, Survey Finds

But Americans don’t want teachers to put 'their thumb on the scale,' one researcher said.

Our new survey results show strong bipartisan support for civics education, with Republicans driving increases since we asked in 2021. Across the political spectrum, U.S. adults support students debating topics from opposite points of view. @mpolikoff.bsky.social www.the74million.org/article/amid...

Oh, and the grant title, is, "RAPID: The Impact of COVID on Childrens Well-being in 2022: Continued Evidence from the Understanding America Study" --so I'm not sure at all how it could have been flagged?

Well the grant proposal itself doesn't have any trigger words. No "DEI," "equity," "inclusion," "disparities..." nothing. It mentions diverse only to describe our researchers' areas of focus, e.g. health, economics, aging, and race/ethnicity among a list of groups for which heterogeneity is common.

I should also add that a *very* substantial proportion of my work is collaborative, especially with @annarsaavedra.bsky.social and her team, and there is absolutely no way I could have had such a productive year without those collaborators.
