Abstract
We investigated the impact of racial demographic change on support for racial equity-enhancing or attenuating school policies, and whether racial attitudes, Social Dominance Orientation, and Racialized Adultification moderate this effect. Racial demographic threat did not influence policy support, however our individual differences predicted higher levels of equity-attenuating policy support.
