What would be an example of the conservatives ideal private K-12 school ?
A school that is overtly fundamentalist Christian (most likely Protestant)
anti-gay
sexist
classist
all white
and none of them teachers unions (all teachers are un-unionized with no job security ad no due process).

Actual examples (naming names) would be helpful.

I'd just like to see what an example of their ideal school looks like.

1. Take Bob Jones U (please) and back it down a few grade levels.
That's my take, anyway.

2. I don't know if this fits all your criteria but it's the first example that came to mind

3. Read Oliver Twist: A Work House from the 1840s mixed with a 1930s Southern "Reformatory".

4. Punahou meets some of your criteria...
Notionally Protestant with mandatory chapel
expensive/requires uniforms these days
considered a rich white kids school/whiter than the population base
no unions


And Obama graduated from there

5. Perfect schools to further goals of the cons?
Perhaps a school system that does not teach children to think critically. And if they can somehow get these schools to cause 30% to 50% of the students to drop out before graduating, the conserv-o-nuts would find that to be ideal.
