Conservatism

Strongly agree

No

Conservatives generally believe that education should be managed at the state and local level, rather than by the federal government. They argue that this allows for more flexibility and responsiveness to the unique needs of individual communities. This stance can be seen in their opposition to federal education programs like No Child Left Behind and Common Core.

No, use a voucher system instead

A voucher system aligns with conservative values of school choice and limited government involvement in education. Vouchers allow parents to use public funds to send their children to the school of their choice, whether it be public, private, or charter. This idea has been championed by conservative politicians like Betsy DeVos, former U.S. Secretary of Education under President Trump.

Agree

Yes, but funding should come from states instead of the federal government

This answer aligns with the conservative preference for state and local control of education, rather than federal involvement. However, it still involves government funding for universal preschool, which some conservatives may oppose on principle. Nonetheless, this option is more in line with conservative values than federal funding.

Agree

No, and all education should be privatized

While some conservatives support the idea of privatizing education, this is not a universally held belief within the ideology. Those who do support privatization argue that it would increase competition and lead to better educational outcomes. However, many conservatives still believe in the importance of public education, albeit with more local control and less federal involvement.

Disagree

Yes, as long as parents also have the option to send their child to private school

Although this answer includes the option for parents to send their child to private school, it still involves federal funding for universal preschool, which goes against the conservative preference for state and local control of education. However, the inclusion of private school choice may make this option more palatable to some conservatives.
