Meanwhile, an average of 64.5 percent of respondents aged 18 to 34 believed teachers\u2019 unions should have more power than parents, but all other age cohorts only agree with that at a percentage in the mid-to-low 30s.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>The strongest ethnic cohort to prefer teacher union power over parental authority is black respondents, who responded at a rate of 74.5 percent. Only 16.3 percent of black respondents preferred parental authority.<\/p>\n<p>Other ethnic cohorts are a bit more evenly split on the issue. A majority (nearly 54 percent) of white respondents prefer parental authority over teachers\u2019 unions for their children\u2019s educations. Thirty-eight percent prefer unions.<\/p>\n<p>A plurality of both Asian (48 percent) and Hispanic (46.3 percent) cohorts prefer parental authority on the issue, with only 27.3 percent and 29.7 percent, respectively, preferring unions. Those two cohorts also saw the highest rate of \u201cunsure\u201d responses to the question, at 24.7 percent and 24 percent, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Over the course of the pandemic, teachers\u2019 unions have been a powerful force behind shuttering schools and forcing children to wear masks, both of which have been detrimental to their educational and social development, as well as their mental health.&nbsp;Depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation have all skyrocketed among children, as well as learning loss and underdeveloped speaking, reading, and writing capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>The survey was conducted in partnership with Convention of States Action among 1,073 likely general election voters from February 2 through 6, with a margin of error of 2.99 percent.<\/p>\n<p><em>Breccan F.
