Californians willing to pay higher taxes for better schools - LA Times
A strong majority of California voters is willing to pay higher taxes to boost funding for public schools even in a grim economy, a new poll has found.
After three years of budget cuts that have battered schools with extensive teacher layoffs and deep cuts in art, music and other programs, 64% of those surveyed said they would shell out more for schools.
The consensus was broad, crossing both genders and all races, ages, regions, income and educational levels. One exception was conservative Republicans, with only 34% willing to pay more for schools. But 60% of Republicans who described themselves as moderate or liberal and three-fourths of Democrats said they would support such a move.
(Bold mine)

Maybe it’s because those Conservative Republicans would send their kids to private schools because they can afford it.
