- Abstract
Should the court rule that charter schools are private entities, theideologically conservative charters that NPE examines in its reportwould not only flourish; they would become even more blatant in theirinstruction of right-wing ideology and more restrictive indenying non-Christian, non-conservative, and LGBTQ+ studentsto enroll in their schools. "During the 2021 school year, 66percent of all Hillsdale-affiliated charter school students were white,and only 12 percent were eligible to receive a subsidized lunch,making Hillsdale charter families not only less diverse and moreaffluent than the public and charter sectors but even whiter andwealthier than the right-wing charter sector as a whole." "Unlike the entire charter school sector, the overall student body ofthese charter schools is disproportionately white", the report states,citing evidence from the 2021-2022 school year that "more than 52percent of the students who attended these charter schools were white,compared with 29 percent of all charter school students.
