A Sharp Turn Right: A New Breed of Charter Schools Delivers the Conservative Agenda

An important read from the folks at the NPE.

Dear Michael, We were not surprised by the approval of a religious charter in Oklahoma this week. Betsy DeVos and her allies are determined to use education to advance “God’s kingdom” along with their political agenda. And the spread of right-wing charter schools, combined with vouchers and the culture wars, are part of the plan. That is our conclusion following an in-depth investigation of the accelerating growth of right-wing and Christian nationalist charter schools. Click on the image below to read our groundbreaking report.

A Sharp Turn Right documents how right-wing politicians and operatives are involved in the establishment and governance in these schools, sometimes even benefiting financially. It also exposes the religious and quasi-religious symbols and practices in which many of these schools engage, blurring the line between church and state. This is a report you will not want to miss.
