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.

My Wife agrees too!!
My wife, one of the finest and smartest women in the world,
still thinks I’m joking when I say that after the importation
of BLACK slaves (not the least hint of racism in my bones, but BLACKNESS is THE single factor that prevented former slaves from being absorbed into American Society and Culture. By now who would know or care who had descended from WHITE slaves?), the next greatest tragedy to befall our society was the political enfranchisement of women! Most of them know how they FEEL about issues but don’t THINK about them at all...hence, the liberal!
A TRUE TRAGEDY!
This is truly one for the ages.
Hillsdale is not extremist at all. The Sacramento Bee is the extremist.
Fixed it.
You win the thread!
