"Fifty-six per cent of people say the numerals should not part of the curriculum for US pupils"
"A survey by Civic Science, an American market research company, asked 3,624 respondents: “Should schools in America teach Arabic numerals as part of their curriculum?
"Some 2,020 people answered “no”. Twenty-nine per cent of respondents said the numerals should be taught in US schools, and 15 per cent had no opinion"
"Seventy-two per cent of Republican-supporting respondents said Arabic numerals should not be on the curriculum"

good grief.. lol
To be fair, that question seems to be phrased to take advantage of the fact it is not common knowledge that our numbering systems come from the Arabs, and originally via India. The question makes it sound like the proposal is to teach a new numbering system in supplement to the existing one.
With that nod to fairness aside, we know that there are a lot of buck-toothed rubes for whom the word "Arab" is like waving a red flag in front of an angry bull.

Judging by their website, it was probably a social media poll with uneducated snowflakes answering.

Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.
