A new survey finds 83% of U.S. parents want financial literacy prioritized over Shakespeare in schools, with rare bipartisan agreement as more states mandate money skills in the classroom.
Key Findings:
- Income gap: Support is lowest among households earning under $25K (74%) and highest among those earning $75K–$99K (88%)
- Bipartisan Unity: 83% of Republicans, 83% of Democrats, and 84% of Independents agree that money skills should take precedent over classic literature.
- Regional Divide: Parents in the Northeast stand out, with 1 in 5 (20%) preferring Shakespeare over financial literacy, the highest percentage in any region.
