Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith.
The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.
By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.
I would so love to be involved with this wonderful educational institution. I have graduate degrees in both humanities (including training in Classics) and business, so I have experience in a number of fields. I never desired to be an instructor in K-12 education, as both of my parents were special education teachers in public education, so I was soured on that whole fiasco from an early age, but this might be the exception. "Get these screens away from our kids!" is something I can get behind.
a 'good school' always, always meant no bullies.... no jive asses....... no slow kids messing up the smart kids. always
We have to save our teens from worldly influences in our school system, we need more charter schools, because they want to see their students to learn skills, job skills, entrepreneurship they want your children to succeed in their life become what God created them to become not the world
The purpose of education isn't just to get a job. A good share of education is to prepare people to shoulder the responsibilities of adulthood and being a citizen in our constitutional republic.
Charter schools remove taxpayer oversight and recourse regarding their tax dollars. Unelected parents decide where and how to spend their neighbors' hard-earned tax dollars. When a charter school fails, those tax dollars are simply lost because taxpayers could not and cannot hold anyone accountable. The boards of charter schools are selected, not elected.
"How easily men become corrupted."

Hooked on phonex I remember that growing up
I loved math back when I was growing up and I actually loved algebra it was easier than it is now
College level math was not easy for me but it was much easier straight out of high school. After 8 years of military service, I finally completed my grad school and post grad. At that point in my mid 30s, math was much harder for me that is why I leaned toward the humanities. I would have liked to have continued in business or a science degree.
When I was in school I tested at senior level skills in English. In middle school tested in math higher then anyone in my class. Since I was in special Ed I was ignored. If I had gone to your school I probably would have learned more about finances and wouyhave changed my whole life.
It's never to late.
I think very highly of classical education. All schools should return to classical education and the Great Works (along the lines of Hillsdale, E.D. Hirsch, Mortimer Adler, and Neil Postman). I think very highly of Hillsdale, too.
Considering their emphasis on the Founders and their promotion of educating the public about American history and our constitutional republic, I am disappointed that they advocate for charter schools. Charter schools undermine our constitutional republic because they disengage the citizenry, taxpayers, from oversight of their own tax dollars. Taxpayers cannot hold anyone accountable or oversee how their taxes are used like they can in their local public school. Charter school boards are selected, not elected.

Yup!
Is Hugh still pushing the Covid jabs?
I and another were battered by a Florida security guard in a temporary FEMA office a year ago. I am a disabled veteran with PTSD. I was in fear and pain. I used my mono-pod to shove the guard, DAVID Lambert, off of me, to stop the attack. The Daytona police failed to follow procedures of investigation. They created a false narrative in an echo chamber and arrested me on a felony, battery on a law enforcement officer. l spent two days in the Volucia county jail before bailing out. My Florida CCW was revoked. The State's Attorney, Amie Moor Assent, prosecuted me for 10 months. She eventually changed the charge to a felony battery on a security officer but left the original charge at the top of the docket in all caps for the jury to see. I was advised that I would never get a fair trial with the charge of a felony battery if a law enforcement officer.
I, the victim, was labeled the offender. The agressive security guard was given a victim status. My defense counsel and an outside counsel strongly urged me to accept a plea deal the State Attorney offered, after she sat in on his deposition, then finally viewed video of the security guard struggling with his supervisor to gain access to me and others to batter us. I was traumatized by the 10 months long molicious prosecution. I reluctantly accepted a reduced charge of a public disturbance which carried a mistimenor and was unajutacated. I was sentenced to 6 months of probation and ordered to complete an 8 hour anger management course. My question is, "Do I have the legal recourse for a civil suit for the initial battery and subsequent malicious prosecution?" Where do I go to get my Good Name back?!?!
Not in the world that has been shoved down our collective throats.
@@donnied9432 I am ashamed that six of those years of military government service were honorablly serving the Great State of Florida; the state that lied and fought to put me in a jail cell for self defense! 🫡😓
My reputation also was destroyed by lying cops. Look what happened to so many others over the past four years. One of the things I say to myself these days is, "What? Do I think I'm better than Job?" I am so sorry for what happened to you. It's traumatizing because we expected justice and honesty from authorities. May God bless you with His peace and all of us with total vindication! We know the future: God wins!
@@donnied9432 PS: About the CCW, I'm not allowed to have a gun either, but I personally don't want one. The lawyers I know, including a Christian friend, tell me it's the "letter of the law" not the intent. By that reasoning the 2nd Amendment would say by the letter, "The right to bear arms is only for those approved by the oligarchs." Governor DeSantis said in his book that he disagrees with his law school professor's teaching that it's the letter being over the intent. I hope and pray that you and others get your CCW back, or, better yet, that the 2nd Amendment will simply be upheld as it was intended and is written!
This comment is in response to a Hillsdale College commercial that showed up uninvited on my feed:
I went to New College. My son was a Fulbrighter after New College. I’ve been getting your pamphlets for years. Your intent is to destroy independent thinking. You want to put women back in their place in the kitchen. New College once was a haven for gifted and quirky students. That’s destroyed now. Now, it is a post high school community college with a third rate sports program. Why? Why are you so afraid of otherness? What did my son or I do to you???
teachers ruin history.. boring. use good movies to teach kids: the Revolution..... Civil war, the old west... cowboys... Indians..... pioneers..... early 1900's........ WW2....... aviation, jets......rockets... the moon........ that is how all of us learned great stuff
People who do not love history first and foremost as the reason they are teaching may ruin it. Great history teachers bring it to life and help you understand the lessons embedded in studying the past.
Movies are an inadequate substitute for a knowledgeable and passionate teacher. Sometimes movies can be used to burgeon the lessons, but should not replace.
