The Daily Signal - What Do School Boards and Parents Want?

Over 14,000 school boards, with about 100,000 members, set the course for instruction in classrooms across the country. To understand the views of parents and school board members in debates about K-12 content and policy, The Heritage Foundation commissioned a nationally representative survey.


The survey covered views on civics education, school discipline, and character- and values-based instruction. Lindsey Burke, director of the Center for Education Policy at The Heritage Foundation, joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss.


We also cover these stories:

  • President Joe Biden signs 17 executive orders, directives, or memorandums hours after being sworn into office Wednesday, aiming to undo much of Donald Trump's legacy as president. 
  • The outgoing president and first lady depart the White House without meeting the Bidens, with Trump speaking to staff and other supporters at Joint Base Andrews before flying to Florida. 
  • Recipients of Trump's dozens of pardons on his final day in office include former White House adviser Steve Bannon and two rappers, Lil Wayne and Kodak Black.
