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.

Libel suit against the Bee coming soon
This is the article scaring the S*it out of them. https://imprimis.hillsdale.edu/what-is-the-great-reset/
Hillsdale? Probably one of our leading colleges. Teaches kids to think, exposes them to the best of our culture (which is not only European in its roots) and to the best of Christianity. But I guess that could be a problem for some people.
A lot of the folks in the more remote areas of Northern CA (above Sonoma County) are pretty conservative, so I think they’ll be fine with it.
The Bee writes great satire.
My guess is Outer Space, but that’s because she’s so alien to Americans.
For example, HH thinks that comparisons of the January 6th election protest (she calls it a riot) should never be compared to the Holocaust because the contrast is just too stark. I agree, it’s ridiculous. She decided it was really Kristallnacht, and highlighted it as a White Supremacist event. Which is a bit more then a riot, and also ridiculous.
“The Capitol insurrection was not Kristallnacht. But between the smashing of windows by white supremacists and signs like 6MWE (6 Million Wasn’t Enough — a reference to the number of Jews who died during the Holocaust), the riot felt analogous to some individuals with ties to the history”.

She also amplifies herself as different: “I was one of just a handful of Jews in my grade” at Granite Bay High School.
And then goes on to recite a litany of complaints about how insensitive everyone was to her, how they didn’t understand the horrors visited by this and how it’s inappropriate to appropriate such comparisons to that which can never be compared even in casual comparison. See? Because she’s in charge of language and emotions, and no one else is allowed to ever comment.
So she’s a self described alien, ipso facto, a foreigner.
Where’s she from? Who knows. Ain’t from here.
After you read the article, maybe you could divine it. Could be she’s from Truth or Consequences and she was born next door to you!
Tom McKlintock-he’s a local congressman so he has skin in the game. He needs to write a rebuttal that bitch slaps the author. The left needs to know we’re not ph—kin’ around this time. If he or another local doesn’t respond then they’re just like the rest of them.
The lady’s attack, which will probably bounce all over the media and Internet, and likely be read by millions, or at least many of the people interested in the subject, is NOT targeted at us.
We are the 10% of conservatives that actually take the time to be informed of what’s going on, rather than watching Dan Rather (or whoever’s there these days) for our ‘news’. It’s the 90% of conservatives, the ones who still vote GOP and voted for Trump, and even like Trump - but STILL send their kids to public school, that she’s after (thankfully none here).
Those uniformed conservatives are the ones she’s after, with the goal of minimizing the number of students this campus is able to attract.
Hillsdale is a righteous organization. These must be leftist saying that they don’t want Hillsdale.
Good magazine. Imprimis
I’m with you. I also have the mentally unhealthy habit of looking up the writer of news stories if I don’t already know them. It’s astonishing how often you read a story about the strife in Ukraine, energy policy, climate, evil conservatives, crime, guns, the military, etc. And you look it up and find it’s some little girl in her early 20s who has never had a job besides scribbling a blog.
If I wanted the idiotic opinions of a young girl, I’d go to thanksgiving dinner.

Pffft!
That’s so funny I almost lost my afternoon hot chocolate that I was drinking...!
LOL, I just looked, she’s a 2020 UC Davis graduate. That means 2020 was the first presidential election she was old enough to vote in.
Shaking my head.
Ultra Leftists are very upset...
Everybody stand back. One day that cork up Hannah’s tush is gonna pop and anyone within range will be in serious danger.
Maybe she should consider that the party she supports was busy enslaving black people when the founders of Hillsdale were forming the first college with the explicit goal of educating everyone, including black people and women.
"Though established by Freewill Baptists, Hillsdale has been officially non-denominational since its inception. It was the first American college to prohibit in its charter any discrimination based on race, religion, or sex, and became an early force for the abolition of slavery. It was also the second college in the nation to grant four-year liberal arts degrees to women."Somebody should ask Hannah why she supports the party of slavery, the KKK, George Wallace, Bull Connor, Robert Byrd and Joe Biden."Professor and preacher Ransom Dunn, who would serve Hillsdale College for half a century, raised money to construct the new hilltop campus in the early 1850s by riding 6,000 miles on horseback on the Wisconsin and Minnesota frontier. It was largely through Dunn’s efforts that Hillsdale would survive while over 80 percent of colleges founded before the Civil War would not. A higher percentage of Hillsdale students enlisted during the Civil War than from any other western college. Of the more than 400 who fought for the Union, four earned the Congressional Medal of Honor, three became generals, and many more served as regimental commanders. Sixty gave their lives.
"Because of the College’s anti-slavery reputation and its role in founding the new Republican party (Professor Edmund Fairfield was a leader at the first convention), many notable speakers visited its campus during the Civil War era, including Frederick Douglass and Edward Everett, who preceded Lincoln at Gettysburg."
Hannah probably never even heard of this real extremist terrorist attack at the Capitol in 1954:

The Sucbee is a communist, slobbering publication.
No, she probably can’t even find Puerto Rico on the map!
AMEN!
