Hillsdale College full racism (and charter schools)

[underpants]

I’m not posting this in anyway to spread right wing talking points. This jerk has the privilege of being in a world where he’s considered relevant AND they allow him to say these things in public on their behalf.

The charter school stuff is upthread at the link.

1. For one year I received the Hillsdale College newsletter. Tried to make them stop, kept coming.

My nutty right-wing mother either on purpose or by accident got me on the mailing list, but she denied it. That same year I tried to subscribe to Gourmet magazine (before they went out of business) but received a year's subscription to a magazine about finance, forgot the name. That was weird. I seemed to be cursed.

2. Pat Sajak of "Wheel of Fortune" is Hillsdale Board Chairman

Why is Pat Sajak Chairman of Michigan's Hillsdale College?

Now that I once again live with my parents in Allegan I've fallen into a nightly routine of watching game shows with my folks. As a trivia lover I mostly stick through Wheel of Fortune to get to Jeopardy but as luck would have it, I've come to love "America's Game" just as much.

When I found out that Pat Sajak was serving as Chairman of the Board of Hillsdale College in Michigan I had one question: WHY?

Schooling Pat Sajak

Though he has served on Hillsdale's Board of Trustees since 2003, Sajak was never a student there himself! In fact, Pat Sajak is a Chicago-man who attended Columbia College before landing a job at local radio station WEDC. I'm not even sure Pat received a degree from Columbia as he left after only three years and joined the U.S. Army.

In 2019 Pat was promoted from Vice-Chairman to Chairman of the Board of Trustees after then-Chairman William Brodbeck decided to step down. Brodbeck told Hillsdale's campus newspaper The Collegian that Sajak's lack of degree would not hinder his ability to move the school forward saying,

“Pat is a brilliant mind. He brings a sound knowledge of the school...He can dramatically move Hillsdale forward, both on campus and around the country.”
