This fundraising letter from Hillsdale is truly demented. 
You must give us money to support our “education for liberty” project so that our children will not go off to college and embrace ideas different from those of their parents. Because LIBERTY!!!!
He left home a normal midwestern kid and returned home someone who was appalled by police brutality!!! The horror!
Take a sec to imagine the mirror image email from a normal liberal arts college. “My kid from Berkeley went to college & came home talking about how free markets & lower taxes might benefit everyone! Please help support our college to ensure that won’t happen to more children!”
You can’t imagine it, because no proper college intentionally engages in rank political indoctrination the way Hillsdale proudly does.
This email is ten times worse than even the most cringey email you could find from a non-right wing college. And yet we’re barraged with stories about “the lunacy” of what goes on at the nation’s colleges.
Hillsdale is not a fringe institution, tho you may not have heard of it. Their President and at least one faculty member were key figures behind Trump’s shambolic 1776 Project.

The current President, who was previously involved with the Claremont Institute and the Heritage Foundation, took over the reins at Hillsdale after it was rocked by a salacious sex scandal involving the former President. nytimes.com/1999/11/15/us/…
The mysteriously funded Federalist records it’s podcast in the studios on Hillsdale’s DC campus.
*its* Maybe if I’d gone to a good college like Hillsdale, my grammar would be better.
