@lymphomation @BenCisco there's a great book called Vanguard about how strong Black women have been saving democracy since about 1776.

And that's exactly what #Hillsdale College and people like Ron #DeSantis don't want us to know.

To give a sense of how bad #hillsdale is, one of the materials they require to apply for a #history teaching job is effectively an anti-diversity statement, promising that you'll promote "Western values" in your teaching and other crap.

#Hillsdale College president Dr. Arnn argues #education in public schools has “adopted the purpose of supplanting the family and controlling parents.” In response, Hillsdale has launched and supported charter schools across the nation with its own “1776 Curriculum.” For the older crowd, there are free online courses, including one called “The American Left: From Liberalism to Despotism,” described below. It’s worth reading the entire New Yorker piece. 3/x https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/04/10/the-christian-liberal-arts-school-at-the-heart-of-the-culture-wars

In promising to counter what he calls “ideological conformity” in #education, #Florida Governor #RonDeSantis has been very clear that he holds up #Hillsdale as a shining example of what he thinks education should be. He has said that he might not hire someone from his own alma mater Yale, but would consider someone from Hillsdale because they would “have the foundations necessary to be able to be helpful in pursuing conservative policies.” 2/ https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/04/10/the-christian-liberal-arts-school-at-the-heart-of-the-culture-wars

A long read on #Hillsdale, the #Christian liberal arts college that has become increasingly influential in American politics, hosting speakers including #SCOTUS Justices Clarence Thomas and Amy Coney Barrett, as well as Dinesh D’Souza and Andy Ngo. College president Larry Arrn also boasts a close relationship with Mike Pence, and even served in the Trump Administration’s 1776 Commission. 1/ https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/04/10/the-christian-liberal-arts-school-at-the-heart-of-the-culture-wars

#Hillsdale #Michigan #USA #Politics Only a few years ago Hillsdale County and Hillsdale College were known as enclaves of small-government libertarianism. They're now embracing far-right nationalist tyranny. The shift appears to be have been swift and extreme. Or perhaps the two ideologies were never so far apart in the first place. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/far-right-republican-groups-surge-swing-state-michigan-2023-02-17/

@wdlindsy
A student leader at #Hillsdale called in to Sam Seder last week explaining this unacceptable action by DeSantis. Nothing on #MSM. It is an #LGBTQ friendly college that the future #GOP presidential candidate is destroying.

Honestly it’s just getting embarrassing and into parody this point. #Hillsdale

Megan Threlkeld: Hillsdale College's new strategy in the school wars merges curriculum and privatization through "choice." #hillsdale #charterschools #racism

"Turning #NewCollege into a Florida version of #Hillsdale would amount to flipping it upside down, a wholesale reinvention akin to a hostile takeover, and one that many current students and faculty are likely to resist. "
