My guess would be that whatever private money-grubbing corp. that runs the school will set the curriculum.

This graph in her wiki is one of the most frightening things I’ve ever read.
DeVos, in contrast to the idea that the U.S. public education system should be maintained as a civic institution, views education as an industry that should be opened up to entrepreneurs and innovators, and she has stated that education is “a closed system, a closed industry, a closed market. It’s a monopoly, a dead end.

And again, libertarian conservatives do not understand how capitalism works. No one prevents any private school from competing with public schools.

What they want is a monopoly themselves.
