* Hillsdale College, a small private Christian school in Michigan, is building a network of "classical education" charter schools that use public tax dollars to teach a conservative, "Judeo-Christian" version of American history. * The college's president, Larry Arnn, has described education as a "weapon" in the conservative war to reclaim America, and has used his connections to right-wing thought leaders to turn his school into a political powerhouse. * Hillsdale's online courses have attracted 3.5 million pupils and promote an "originalist" interpretation of the Constitution, which critics say is an extremely conservative view that undermines the social safety net. * The college's charter school network, the Barney Charter School Initiative (BCSI), teaches a curriculum that emphasizes the "Western tradition," including a heavy emphasis on U.S. founding documents and a focus on "objective standards of correctness, logic, beauty, weightiness, and truth." * Critics say that Hillsdale's curriculum promotes a toxic view of diversity and that its emphasis on "virtue" is a way of promoting conservative Christian values in a secular way. * The college's expansion into primary and secondary education has raised concerns about the privatization of public schools and the spread of conservative ideology through education. * #RightWingPolitics * #EducationReform * #CriticalThinking * #CivicEducation * #AmericanHistory * #JudeoChristianValues * #Originalism * #ConstitutionalInterpretation * #PublicEducation * #EducationPolicy * #HillsdaleCollege * #ClassicalEducation * #CharterSchools * #PrivatizationOfEducation * #ConservativeIdeology * #RightWingPolitics * #EducationReform * #CriticalThinking * #CivicEducation * #AmericanHistory * #JudeoChristianValues * #Originalism * #ConstitutionalInterpretation * #PublicEducation * #EducationPolicy https://www.salon.com/2022/03/16/coming-to-a-school-near-you-stealth-religion-and-a-trumped-up-version-of-american-history/
