HOORAY Hillsdale! Great school here in Michigan.
Don’t get misdirected here. The importance of teaching our Constitution in Universities is what’s important. Sending the $$$ to a choir may be emotionally satisfying, but its wrong.
FORCE them to teach the Constitution on their campus. And better yet, make it a required course.
Go Hillsdale, Go!!!!!!!
I believe that is what Hillsdale is attempting to do.
Or do you think they should just abdicate their fiduciary responsibilities?
Even better when they have to pay a price for it.
Are you familiar with what Hillsdale College teaches and promotes?
Mr. Hibbs, being a product of his time, clearly misjudged the trajectory of moral rot in academia.

Another example why I’ll NEVER give another $ to “education”
How ironic that former Dim Guv Nixon is representing Hillsdale
This was the clown who made the ridiculously biased and “impassioned” speech during the Michael Brown Fiasco
It effectively removed ANY chance for the Dim nomination for the Presidency
All conservatives and Christian donors to any organization should include a caveat indicating the intent of the donation.
It is going to be difficult for some to contribute to their local public schools given the new LGBTQ state mandated curriculum,
Great story thanks for posting. But the writer should take an entry level journalism course. The actual point of the suit and indeed the whole story (that Missouri is violating the terms of the bequest and how) is located in paragraphs 6-8.
Probably the most conservative institution on our shores...?
You are missing the point. Hillsdale DOES teach the Constitution to all students. In addition, Hillsdale wishes to teach free-market economics, which is what the lawsuit against Missou is about.
There is no capacity for a last will and testament to force a university to teach the Constitution unless a university accepts a specific bequest to do so. I wish, however, that states would require it of state-funded universities. But you can imagine the distortions the blue states would impose.
I believe that was stated in paragraphs 6-8......
What's your idea of a successful mystery, the first chapter then the last one?.....Sheesh!
So often the donor’s wishes are not respected. There was that art collection in PA that got all screwed up. Think what you like of the donor’s desires, but accept them as binding. That’s what I think, anyway.
Indeed they are! But don’t try the von Mises stuff on FreeRepublic. We need government help in our markets. Need government protection of companies.
I am and I am pretty sure most of it would be rejected by many on this forum.
Uh, try reading the article.
