In a 2019 poll, charter schools drew 51% percent support among Latino parents and 55% among Black parents. Support for tax credits was measured at 67% among Latino parents and 66% among Black parents. Support for universal vouchers was at 62% for both Latino and Black parents.
Among Democrats, minority support for school choice is much stronger than among whites, creating a dilemma for candidates trying to determine a winning position on related questions. "It’s not clear what is driving the racial divide," Chalkbeat, an education-news site, says, suggesting an influence could be that Black and Hispanic Democrats have more direct experience with charter schools.
