The allegations of cherry-picking students at the American Indian Public Charter School (AIPCS) revolve around the claim that the school selectively admitted students to achieve better test scores, which is a violation of the principles of equal opportunity and non-discrimination. This practice is known to undermine the education of students with special needs, those from poor families, and students from unsupportive homes. The school's founder, Ben Chavis, faced criticism for alleged racist and sexist comments, and there were also issues with the school's governance and operations. The cherry-picking accusations are part of a broader set of concerns about the school's business practices and treatment of students.
