Authors argue that neoliberal educational policy has emerged as proto-fascist governmentality. This contemporary technology relies on State racisms and racial orderings manifested from earlier liberal and neoliberal practices of bio-power. As a proto-fascist technology, education policy, and school choice policies in particular, operate within a racial aesthetics that connects ultra-nationalism with micro-fascisms of racialized bodies. They discuss historical examples of liberal school segregation and residential schools in relation to the contemporary examples of chartered ethnic-identity schools to illustrate the complexities of proto-fascist education policy
