I kind of wish my daughter could have spent some tie at Hilldale. She is in pre-med school now. Glad she is taking something of real value, but even as a pre-med, the university has its share of crap-liberal leaning courses that are required for graduation.
I have taken a few of Hillsdale’s online govt/history courses and think they should be mandatory teaching for all Juniors or seniors in high school.
Now that is some great news!
Good. The clowns in that town could use a REAL education.
I don’t like it.
The Swamp tends to corrupt and pollute everything that it touches.
I look forward to getting my Imprimis in the mail each month.
Rush and Levin have had Hillsdale commercials on the radio shows for it must be at least 30 years now and I don’t know of any other college where they just teach conservative constitutionalist civics
which is interesting but the fact is who the hell wants to go to Michigan with those winters and Detroit lurking nearby
so I think putting if you’re going to focus on politics to put their grad school in the swamp is a brilliant move
Somebody has to teach conservative constitutionalist civics and constitutional law to the populace
Nice, but I hope Hillsdale won’t get corrupted by the swamp...
Possessing a clear understanding of the failure of previous civilizations to achieve and sustain freedom for individuals, our forefathers discovered some timeless truths about human nature, the struggle for individual liberty, the human tendency toward abuse of power, and the means for curbing that tendency through Constitutional self-government. Jefferson's Bill For The More General Diffusion Of Knowledge For Virginia declared: "...experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms (of government), those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny; and it is believed that the most effectual means of preventing this would be, to illuminate...the minds of the people...to give them knowledge of those facts, which history exhibiteth. History, by apprizing them of the past, will enable them to judge of the future...it will qualify them judges of the actions and designs of men; it will enable them to know ambition under every disguise it may assume; and knowing it, to defeat its views.."Education was not perceived by the Founders to be a mere process for teaching basic skills. It was much, much more. Education included the very process by which the people of America would understand and be able to preserve their liberty and secure their Creator-endowed rights. Understanding the nature and origin of their rights and the means of preserving them, the people would be capable of self government, for they would recognize any threats to liberty and "nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud." (Adams)
They should offer an online degree.
