1776 Curriculum is the “#herpes of history”…
& like tVD…It’s painful, contagious, can be a life-long disability &…
There’s no cure.
Like the stupidity to call #propaganda …#history.

“A controversial #k12 course of study developed by #hillsdalecollege
a private #christian institution that promotes #rightwing ideologies.”

#Tennessee became aware of the educational ‘impact’ of #HillsdaleCollege when governor #BillLee thought it would be a good idea to get out-of-state help with #K12 #education.

After moderate governors from each party - who realize the importance of high-quality #PublicEducation to our future economy - the #NAEP ‘national report card’ said our ‘historic rise’ led the nation in 2013. ✅

Now? https://tn.chalkbeat.org/2022/10/23/23417316/naep-tennessee-2022-pandemic-test-scores-nations-report-card

#Floriduh governor #RonDeSantis forced a #HillsdaleCollege makeover at #NewCollege in Sarasota. In response, there has been a #science and #humanities faculty exodus. Departing #science students were replaced with a huge increase in ‘student-athlete’ admissions, SAT scores of freshman plummeted by 100 points. 🤷🏻‍♂️ https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/sep/03/new-college-florida-desantis-teachers

Are #MomsForLiberty and #HillsdaleCollege now dictating the #Education policy in #Afghanistan as well as in #Floriduh ? 😂

He is also on the board of #HillsdaleCollege , which publishes right-wing newsletter Imprimis. Sajak will become chair after he retires from Wheel.

#Tennessee governor #BillLee apparently thinks #HillsdaleCollege is what’s needed to put our #PublicEducation on the ‘correct’ path. 🤔

Previously, the path of #PublicEducation in Tennessee, according to #NAEP , was a HISTORIC RISE. 👉 https://www.tn.gov/former-governor-haslam/news/2013/11/7/tennessee-students-the-fastest-improving-in-the-nation.html

«A #Michigan college has ended its partnership with a #Florida #CharterSchool whose principal was forced to resign after a parent complained sixth graders were exposed to #pornography during a lesson on #Renaissance #art that included #Michelangelo's #David sculpture.

A #HillsdaleCollege spokesperson said #TallahasseeClassicalSchool no longer is affiliated with the small, #Christian classical liberal arts college in southern Michigan, MLive.com reported Thursday.»

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.

He also indicated on forms that she had no income in 2008-2009 when she worked for Hillsdale College.

Now you may remember that name because it manufactures the, ahem, "teaching materials" for right wing school groups like those infesting Floriduh currently.

The college that withdrew its support for that school in Floriduh that, gasp, showed kids Michaelangelos David? Yeah. That is Hillsdale "College."

His excuse for that, ahem, oversight was, quote, "due to a misunderstanding of filing instructions."

In 2015, a full year AFTER #QuidProCrow purchased his childhood home complete with his mom still living there for at least another 6 years while Crow paid for expensive renovations and she didn't pay rent to live there, Uncle Clarence was still listing an ownership interest in that house. Which he had sold to his sugar daddy in 2014. Because he "failed" to report the sale.

2007: #Blackwater's #ErikPrince Has #GOP, #Christian Group Ties

By Corey Flintoff, NPR

"Prince grew up in Holland, Mich., where his father, Edgar Prince, built Prince Corporation, an auto-parts company that based its success on novel products, such as the lighted vanity mirror for car window visors. The elder Prince was a close friend and supporter of Christian #Evangelists such as James Dobson of Focus on the Family, as well as a contributor to the Republican Party. He was an early benefactor of the #FamilyResearchCouncil.

"Erik Prince was accepted to the U.S. Naval Academy, but dropped out after three semesters. He later told the Virginia-Pilot newspaper that he loved the Navy but disliked the academy. He finished his schooling at the Christian-oriented #HillsdaleCollege in Michigan.

"Other members of Prince's family have been active in Republican politics. His sister, #BetsyDeVos, has served as chair of the Michigan Republican Party, and her husband, Dick DeVos, was an unsuccessful Republican candidate for governor of Michigan in 2006. Dick DeVos, a member of the conservative family that co-founded Amway, succeeded his father as president of that company."

“Parents choose this school because they want a certain kind of education,” the chair of the school board said. “The rights of parents, that trumps the rights of kids.”

Kathryn Joyce spotlights the plan of deep-pockets right-wing donors to refashion higher education, with Hillsdale College as their new flagship:

She quotes Michael Butler, who teaches civil rights history at Flagler College: “It’s easy to ridicule Florida, or cite ‘Florida Man.’ But the Florida of today is the America of tomorrow.'"
