“Hillsdale College — which Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas called “a shining city on a hill” and which hired his activist wife, Ginni Thomas, to help establish a full-time presence in the nation’s capital — has became an important force in that movement under the leadership of Arnn, who has allied himself with former president Donald Trump. The college has helped launch dozens of “classical” charter schools across the country (Hillsdale doesn’t own or operate the schools but trains faculty and staff and shares curriculum) — and, now, at Lee’s invitation, Hillsdale is helping to open at least 50 charter schools in Tennessee. Charter schools are publicly funded but privately operated.”

“The charter schools use a Hillsdale K-12 curriculum that is centered on Western civilization and designed to help “students acquire a mature love for America.” A Hillsdale K-12 civics and U.S. history curriculum released last year extols conservative values, attacks progressive ones and distorts civil rights history, saying, for example: “The civil rights movement was almost immediately turned into programs that ran counter to the lofty ideals of the Founders.” Hillsdale College itself offers a “classical liberal arts core” to its students; the website lists more than 30 authors and thinkers that students will encounter — nearly all of them White men”

While there is still not a single K-12 school that teaches CRT, conservatives are openly attacking education and rewriting history. On one hand, I’m impressed they were able to make Dems out as CRT monsters while they were the ones doing the actual manipulating of history. On the other, I’m so embarrassed for my friends and fellow voters in VA that fell for it.[/quote]

You’re awfully grumpy about mere alternatives to government school.

If you’re so grumpy about the race and sex of the authors and thinkers they are using, you should similarly be grumpy that so many people from around the world keep validating the worth of countries founded by people of that same race and sex by constantly moving to those places and raising families in them.

Chill out, most kids in America (founded by white males) go to government schools (the father of which is a white male) are taught in English (grammatical structure formalized by white males)

You can’t get away from white male foundational structure in America.chill out.[/quote]

Not for long.

White men are so 20th century.

You can’t change who founded the country,

Ironically the much-maligned (rightfully criticized) men who founded it enshrined thoughts of judging people as individuals and not members of groups, laying the groundwork and principles that make it a place where people of all colors countries races and religions come to for the purpose of leading a better life, assured equality under the law.

Try going to any number of (particularly) non Western countries and see how far you get thinking you have the same rights privileges and respect as the foundational populations that have been there for centuries.

It’s more than a little ironic that argument against the legitimacy of racism works so well against white westerners (most racist and terrible people ever supposedly) such that they would allow the peoples they hate so much and view as so inferior the same rights to own land and businesses, wield political power and immigrate in such numbers that white people have been predicted to be a minority for decades, indeed they may already be in the under 35 age group.[/quote]
