Political Divides Shape Educators’ Views on English Learners’ Rights

To get a clearer picture of educators’ opinions on English learners’ and
immigrant students’ rights, the EdWeek Research Center conducted a survey
in February explicitly asking educators whether they support federal laws
mandating language services for English learners, and guaranteeing access
to free, public education for undocumented students.

The results: While educators overall support such laws and oppose
immigration enforcement in schools, sharp partisan divides emerge when
responses are broken down by whether respondents voted for Kamala Harris,
the incumbent vice president, and Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, or
Donald Trump, the president from 2017 to 2021, and JD Vance, the junior
U.S. senator from Ohio, in last year’s election.

These partisan divides persisted even among educators working directly with
English learners and/or immigrant students.
