<p>The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of political ideology and racial resentment in White attitudes toward schools focusing on race and racism in classrooms and curriculum agendas. This work builds on previous research which finds racial policy orientations (e.g., anti-affirmative action) to be driven by more than just political ideology but racial resentment as well. Further, this paper explores the moderating role of education on any observed effects of racial resentment and political ideology. Scholars have debated for many years about the liberalizing impact of education on attitudes in general, and on racial attitudes in particular. Using data from the 2022 American National Election Survey (ANES) pilot study, our findings show that concerns for focusing on race and racism in the classroom and curriculum agendas are rooted in more than just conservative appeals to protect students; rather, they are also based in racial resentment as well. We also find that education does not attenuate the effect of racial resentment; rather, the more educated respondents actually express greater concerns over such issues in classrooms and schools. Conversely, our results indicate that education softens the impact of political ideology on these views. We discuss the broader implications of these findings.</p>
