Hillsdale College Online Courses - Excellence In Education

Hillsdale College's records show that "more than one million people have taken one or more of Hillsdale College's free online courses in the past five years, deepening their knowledge of such topics as the Constitution, American history, & free market economics."

 

Carol & I are about half way through the Hillsdale online course entitled "The U.S. Supreme Court" – long time readers know that the court system is @ the top of the list to understand & expose how the activist courts are grabbing power intended to ruin America.

 

These online courses are offered @ no charge to anyone who wants to learn. 

 

Hillsdale is distinct from other schools of higher learning in that they do not take any money from the government, even indirectly in the form of grants or loans.  The college relies on tuition of under $25,000 per year & donor support for all of its operations – including the promotion of online courses.

 

Much like I kept RTE commercial free after Google asked me several years ago if I wanted to advertise – the readership has only increased since then – Hillsdale prefers a similar arrangement of giving away what makes America great for free with these online courses.

 

Hillsdale writes "Progressives who opposed the ideas of limited government and individual rights began a concerted effort over a century ago to take over America's schools and universities.  Since the late 1960s, to the extent young Americans have learned anything about our country's history, it is more likely than not to be about its faults."  Liberal Supreme Court justices like Ruth Bader Ginsburg think that the country was founded in 1937 instead of 1776.  And in last year's presidential primaries, RTE posts reported, & Hillsdale confirmed "more millennials (America's youngest voters) voted for Bernie Sanders, who proudly espouses socialism, than voted for Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton combined."  Hillsdale adds "Given that Millennials recently surpassed Baby Boomers as America's largest generation, this statistic is troubling for the future of our country."

 

This prompted a long time subscriber to this blog to let me know that Liz Wheeler, One America News Anchor, recently tweeted "My message to the class of 2017: you have a lot to unlearn!"

 

The above are the types of problems that Hillsdale wants to see reversed knowing especially that "the millennial vote bodes ill for the future."  Nearly 400 students graduate from Hillsdale every year (every Hillsdale student is required to study the Constitution before graduating) but that is a very small number compared to the number of people who take the online courses where Hillsdale is more widely able "to promote America's founding principles & limited government under the Constitution" - a cause that "is so urgent & vital that they should be available to all citizens, regardless of their ability to pay."
