Well, Denise, there is only one possible measured response to your assertion that Hillsdale is not, in some mystical fashion, a 'legitimate' four-year college.

That response is the punchline to the old joke about G-d and Michael the archangel solving the problem of creation of human genitalia. You'll have to look that joke up for yourself; I prefer not to violate common decency (as well as Free Republic's code of conduct, most likely) by citing it directly.

I'm not going to give you a commercial here, Denise. You are quite obviously too bound up in your preferred childlike version of political correctness. Equally clear, you being a bureaucrat and all, you resent the fact that you and your ilk have no mechanism of control over Hillsdale, due principally to their utterly correct refusal to accept any "federal" dollars.

I have, as it happens, had the privilege of lecturing in the economics department at Hillsdale many times, and their students have, uniformly, seemed to me to be of open mind generally, and damned smart individually. You, contrarily, have not had such an opportunity; you have simply parroted your masters' sentiments in your statement mentioned in this article.

There is an old story about a young kid on a kid's after-school cartoon show, a local program, who, when told to push the button to start the cartoon, encountered the unlucky fact that the cartoon wouldn't start. The young kid, apocryphally perhaps, is supposed to have said, "Aw, crap." whereupon the host, usually related as one 'Corky the Clown' is supposed to have reprimanded him, saying, "Michael, that's a Corky No-No!"

The young kid's response to the host's statement is really all the response you deserve, to wit, "Cram it, clown"

I have subscribed for many years to the Hillsdale monthly “Imprimis”. Every conservative should read it.

Denise you ignorant slut, you just upped interested inquiries to the Hillsdale College curriculum tenfold. Hope the school wears her attitude as a badge of honor.

I remember the Corky story! But more importantly I have 2 daughters with degrees from Hillsdale. Best college tuition investment ever!
