Privately run for profit "public" schools.
I worked at two charters. Pretty clear the school is choosing the kids. Sure, they're open to all, but the walk and talk chat as the admins suss out the kid, why they're leaving, and whether they're a good fit. While not all students were white, most were, more so than the schools they came from in the surrounding counties. Charters in NC paid on the state teachers salary schedule, without local stipends.
The School was a Classical Academy (high school taught Latin), but the parents were divided. Many thought the C in LLCA was for "Christian."
so, this happened.

The Board ended all clubs on campus, every one, rather than let the high school students form a Gay Straight Alliance. The English Department walked out en masse. I heard about it on NPR, and applied.
They've been on a propaganda train since Reagan and he back to basics movement, then the magnet schools and open enrollment across district, then charter schools. Schools are failing is all we've heard. Despite numbers that said otherwise.
Free public education for all is what leads to people like Barack Obama, Kamela Harris, and all three of Biden's SCOTUS candidates. Education makes people more liberal.
Public Schools, Public libraries, public hospitals, public spaces are vital to democracy. We own these institutions, not private for profit companies.
