“…A further limitation is inherent in the use of a scale eliciting agreement or disagreement with antisemitic beliefs: as Greene and colleagues have argued, it is possible that more highly educated participants 'may be more likely to detect what they are being asked and [to] give socially desirable answers' to such questions, such that measures of antisemitism may in part be measures of (in)ability to guess the researcher's intention (Greene et al, 2021, p. 2). Thus, it would seem expedient to attempt a conceptual replication of the above findings using other methods to measure antisemitism, such as presentation of participants with manipulated scenarios (as, indeed, in Greene et al, 2021).…”

“…In terms of demographic predictors, a number of studies in the US and Germany have found a negative association between antisemitism and education and a positive association between antisemitism and age (ADL, 2011;Weil, 1980Weil, , 1985, and one has found a negative relationship between antisemitism and exclusive education in the US (Greene and Kingsbury, 2017), while another has found a positive association between antisemitism and education (Greene et al, 2021). Moreover, heightened levels of antisemitism among members of ethnically-or religiouslydefined minority groups have been found in a number of studies carried out in western countries (ADL, 2011;Baum and Nakazawa, 2007;Ehsan, 2020;Hersh and Royden, 2022;Jikeli, 2015;Simon, 2003;Staetsky, 2017Staetsky, , 2020.…”

Two cross-sectional studies were carried out in order to identify predictors of antisemitism, measured using the Generalised Antisemitism or GeAs scale. In the first, which used a self-selecting sample of UK-resident adults (n = 809), age, gender, ethnicity, and educational level as well as a wide range of ideological predictors were analysed as bivariate predictors of antisemitism. In the second, which used a representative sample of UK-resident adults (n = 1853), the same demographic predictors plus the non-demographic predictors found to have the strongest bivariate relationships with Generalised Antisemitism in the previous study were used to construct a linear model with multiple predictors. Ethnicity, support for totalitarian government, belief in malevolent global conspiracies, and anti-hierarchical aggression were identified as the strongest predictors of Generalised Antisemitism. However, support for totalitarian government was only found to predict ‘old’ antisemitic attitudes (measured using the Judeophobic Antisemitism or JpAs subscale) and not ‘new’ antisemitic attitudes (measured using the Antizionist Antisemitism or AzAs subscale), whereas ethnicity, anti-hierarchical aggression, and belief in malevolent global conspiracies were found to predict both ‘old’ and ‘new’ antisemitic attitudes. This finding adds nuance to ongoing debates about whether antisemitism is more prevalent on the political right or left, by suggesting that (at least in the UK) it is instead associated with a conspiracist view of the world, a desire to overturn the social order, and a preference for authoritarian forms of government—all of which may exist on the right, the left, and elsewhere. Data from both samples are open, as is the code used in order to carry out the analyses presented here.

“…That curious finding squares with other literature concerning the effect of private schooling on civic values. For example, Greene and Kingsbury (2017) found that private schooling had a statistically and practically significant positive effect on anti-Semitic attitudes but that the dosage effect became slightly negative after approximately 7 years of private education. In other words, an adult who received half of their K-12 education in a private school would be less anti-Semitic than an adult who received none of their education there and also less anti-Semitic than an adult who attended for 12 years.…”

The United States has one of the lowest election turnout rates in the developed world. Consequently, social scientists are perpetually seeking to expand upon their knowledge of what factors are associated with voting, or the lack thereof. Commonly identified factors including age, income, race, and educational attainment have been studied extensively. However, while the quantity of education is deemed important, the type of education is overlooked. The limited literature that exists on the topic suggests that private schools have a positive effect on civic outcomes, including voter participation. In using a rich, nationally representative dataset—the Understanding America Study based out of the University of Southern California—this study reexamines whether attending a private school has an effect on whether Americans vote. It also sheds light on a heretofore-unanswered question: How does private schooling affect which candidate an individual supports? Overall, the data indicate that private schooling appears to have no impact on voter turnout, but that attending some private school appears to have a liberalizing effect.

“…A Supporters argue that the market provision of education will foster innovation, improve overall academic performance, empower parents who have been disempowered by school bureaucracies and hierarchical politics, offer a better fit between educational programs and individual student needs, push traditional public schools to improve, and increase classroom-level integration (Friedman, 1962;Greene, 2005;Chubb & Moe, 1990;Thernstrom & Thernstrom, 2003;works within Fox & Buchanan, 2014). Further, some argue that increased school choice may foster better citizenship by creating school-level communities rather than large, atomistic school settings (Campbell, 2001;Wolf, 2005Wolf, , 2007Greene & Kingsbury, 2017;Mohme, 2017). Supporters also argue that choice empowers teachers, who may start their own schools or education cooperatives (Dirkswager, 2002;Maranto & Maranto, 2006), perhaps reflecting progressive ideals (works within Rofes & Stulberg, 2004).…”

Desert Bloom?: Lessons from Two Decades of Arizona Charter Schooling

For decades, scholars and politicians have debated the likely impacts of school choice. Yet few have studied the nation's largest state-level charter school market, Arizona, whose 20-year-old charter sector accounts for about 17% of Arizona public school enrollment. This article summarizes the extant literature on this market, some 23 studies, supplemented with original fieldwork to derive tentative lessons for social scientists and policymakers. While the charter sector seems to have promoted innovation, teacher and parent empowerment, and modest improvement in traditional public schools, findings regarding student learning and segregation are less clear.
