Parents Across Party Lines Want AI Banned From Classrooms

Across all demographics, parents in the U.S. are worried about the impact AI will have on their children’s educations.

A majority of parents (56 percent) with K-12-aged children want schools to fully block students’ use of AI, while another quarter wishes it was less present in schools than it currently is, according to polling commissioned by the Institute for Family Studies. IFS’s report, which was shared with National Review, was conducted among 2,000 American parents ahead of the 2026-2027 school year.
