Recent survey shows students hold back from sharing political opinions

More from this show

A recent survey conducted at the Sandra Day O’Connor Institute showed 58% of high school graduates said they had held back in class from sharing civic or political opinions because they were worried about how others would react. Within those students, 91% cited classmates as a concern and just 41% cited a teacher.

Liam Julian, Chief of Programs and Public Policy at the Sandra Day O’Connor Institute, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss the survey results.
