12. Educating Students About Global Warming
12.1. Three in four registered voters say schools should teach children about global warming.
The Next Generation Science Standards for K-12 STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education in the United States recommend that climate change be included in school science curricula.
Three in four registered voters (75%) agree that schools should teach children about the causes and consequences of global warming, and potential solutions. This includes nearly all liberal and moderate/conservative Democrats (97% and 96% respectively), a large majority of liberal/moderate Republicans (73%), and about one in three conservative Republicans (37%).
