Exemplary.

Both the speaker AND the venue.

Most higher education institutions are takers. They take tuition. They take federal student aid. They take tax breaks. And they give very little back.

Hillsdale is a giver, not a taker. Imprimus is offered, free, to anyone who wishes to subscribe. Great conservative thought on a broad variety of topics. And then there are the totally free on-line college level courses.

Now that I finally have “real internet” I’m going to explore the free courses that Hillsdale offers on the U.S. Constitution.

I get Imprimis emailed. I had no idea they had free college level courses on the Constiution, though. I will have to look into that for some people i know.

Hillsdale is a taker, yet gives a la the Hare Krishna tactic. Here, this is free, now give us a donation. Meanwhile I'll talk like a cute, humble puppy dog and regurgitate history that you can find free on the internet or your library.

Look on-line. Tuition is some $28,000. Where does it go?

Check this out! $900,000 salary!. If the salary is half that, I find it hard to accept.

We should focus on what our nation needs. Perhaps our biggest problem is the parent's lack of personal involvement in local education, allowing the liberals to take it over. That has set a line of constitutional ignorance that costs this nation dearly. We need to bring back serious Civics and Constitution classes every semester to our schools. The local schools will resist a competitor moving in, but can't ignore a gathering of local, concerned parents.

Now look at the education you get "for free" here. Free Republic is wonderful. Perhaps the best comes from Billthedrill and Publius (freeper names) who wrote a wonderful series on the federalist papers that every member should study, not just read. You will find it on the freeper book club. Donate here; it goes to a better cause
