Author and Heritage Foundation Fellow Jonathan Butcher challenges the dominant narrative of a deeply divided nation in The Polarization Myth: America’s Surprising Consensus on Race, Schools, and Sex, arguing that on many of today’s most contentious cultural issues, Americans actually share far more common ground than political elites and media portray. Drawing on polling data and policy debates, Butcher explains how parents across racial and socioeconomic lines increasingly agree on priorities such as transparency in schools, academic excellence over ideology, and age-appropriate discussions of sex and gender. He contends that claims of extreme polarization often serve to marginalize mainstream views, while a quiet majority favors practical solutions that respect parental rights, equal treatment under the law, and a focus on educational outcomes rather than political activism.
