"Hillsdale College Spearheads Conservative Transformation of K-12 Education"
Hillsdale College, a conservative Christian institution in Michigan, has become a prominent resource for conservatives seeking to reshape K-12 education. The college has set up charter schools in over a dozen states and developed the 1776 Curriculum, which emphasizes American exceptionalism. Hillsdale's deep connections to the conservative movement have made it a trusted brand for policymakers looking to counter what they perceive as a progressive takeover of public education. Critics argue that the college inserts a right-wing worldview into schools, while supporters praise its rejection of "woke orthodoxy." The influence of Hillsdale College in education has sparked protests and controversy, but Republican officeholders remain committed to reshaping the teaching of American history.
