A conspiracy-peddling college is coming to Placer County. That should scare us all
The Sacramento Bee ^ | January 23, 2022 | BY HANNAH HOLZER

Posted on 01/23/2022 10:55:48 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

Placer County’s Board of Supervisors are thrilled that Hillsdale College, a small, ultra-conservative Christian university, plans to build a campus on farmland west of Roseville. The problem is that Hillsdale is an extremist institution, perpetuating alternative facts and harmful conspiracy theories.

Placer County’s agreement with Hillsdale signals a deeper conflict in our county – that of local elected officials not only entertaining fringe beliefs but creating a space where young people can be radicalized against democracy. Instead of promoting knowledge and understanding in the best traditions of higher education, Hillsdale’s plans for Placer threatens more political and cultural conflict in our already polarized community.

Take Hillsdale’s mission statement, for example: “The College values the merit of each unique individual, rather than succumbing to the dehumanizing, discriminatory trend of so-called ‘social justice and ‘multicultural diversity.’”

Adding Hillsdale to Placer County merely represents another example of local elected officials promoting personal political beliefs that are not shared by many of their constituents – beliefs that flout the ideals of separating church from state.

Hillsdale is a breeding ground for the type of ideology that caused the Jan. 6 insurrection at the US Capitol. The college teaches a dangerous brand of right-wing political extremism that seeks to arm future generations with a distorted view of history and reality.

Hillsdale “conspires” to study the Constitution. Sacramento Bee hates that because they hate America.

Love Hillsdale. They’re clearly pissing off all the right people here.

I highly recommend subscribing to Imprimis, and watching VDH’s lecture series on The Second World Wars. Kick them $100 a year for access to all their lectures, they’re worth supporting.

Who knew that the Constitution, which Hillsdale actively teaches is "alternative facts" and "harmful conspiracy theories?"

Gasp! Fetch the fainting couch and extra-strench clutching pearls. Individualism? Shocking!

Pound sand Hannah. Hillsdale proudly does not accept a single penny of federal funding and strongly supports American ideals. Only to a brain dead commie like you is it an extremist college.

Wait a second, this is entirely inaccurate! The FBI doesn’t train at Hillsdale College.

The Sacramento Bee is just Pravda, but without the talent.

And here we go, the attzck on ot just Christian institutions, but also on institutions which do not comply with the left’s lies. Thr left are fomenting hatred for Hillsdale and other institutions by claimingmthst they are “dangerous extremist groups who peddle “conspiracy lies and misinformation” that are dangerous to,the country “

Any opinion that conflicts with the left’s blatant lies are going to,be fiercely condemned as “dangerous far right conspiracy misinformation”

This is an outright assault on conservatives or anyone that doesn’t agree with the left.

It is gaslighting 101

Hah hah haha. You mean (not you oldecononmy, the writer of the “article”)they don’t teach that the American Revolution was done so American Colonists could live free as transgendered?!! And make up writings supporting that viewpoint?

Or that all the evils of the world are caused by the US?

They actually teach “normal” American history?

Hillsdale teaches “extremist” ideas like individual liberty, individual responsibility, free market, the value of the US Constitution.

The horror, the horror!

Just a few minutes ago in this post: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/4031985/posts
Sheryl Atkinson pointed out that a key word in mainstream media Fake News propaganda is ‘conspiracy’. It’s a word intended to imply illegality, and breed doubt in the reader about the ‘conspirators’. It works for many people.

Is this satire?

Valuing every individual is “polarizing”?
