> adults involved with schools

I don't know what group you're trying to capture by saying this. You mean the parents as well as the school employees?

>Is this just down to how skewed female this group is?

No I think it has to do with how young both the parents and the teachers are. Someone who is 40 years old today is right on the cusp of being a millennial.




Yea: School boards, teachers, administrators to some degree. Sorry, it was a little awkwardly phrased.

> Someone who is 40 years old today is right on the cusp of being a millennial.

This doesn't fit the data. The median age of a teacher in the US is 41[1], which means that less than half of all teachers are millennials. By contrast, 72% of teachers are women.

I'm having more trouble pulling up the sources I've seen with crosstabs on approval of wokeness[2] by gender and age, but I know it's quite gender-skewed (as well as age-skewed).

[2] The definition I'm using here is leftism with an identitarian focus, that opposes Enlightenment liberalism's aspiration towards transcending ethnic tribalism. I again mean this neutrally, with no comment on whether this worldview is more legitimate than the alternative.
