Chew, Kenneth S. Y.
Sociology of Education, v65 n4 p280-92 Oct 1992
Presents results of a study exploring how demographic trends are affecting political support for public education. Explains that the study expected and found that parents would support increases in public school taxes more than nonparents. Suggests that political ideology was a stronger indicator of support for public education than was parenthood. (DK)
