Money is as always a top level reason for privatization efforts in every sector of society.

But setting that motive aside I have taken notice in your reporting of the active participation of Hillsdale College.

The presence of Hillsdale as an organization is significant to me due to the fact that it is a participating member of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025.

Project 2025 is arguably the most significant existential threat to the upcoming Presidential Election of next year and by extension the future of a freedom loving liberal American democracy.

Hillsdale College is in all likelihood engaged in these privatization of educational systems in numerous places throughout the country. Their primary objective presumably is to separate the federal government from public education systems in order to supplant modern liberal education curriculums with some type of Christian nationalist curriculum that is intended to cultivate and propagate a deity centered, fixed epistemological worldview.

This would fit right into the right wing agenda of subjugating all of society to their theocratic ideology by which they intend to control, direct, and subvert as many people to the Authoritarianism that relies on nothing more than a belief in “God.”

Do you know what time it is?

Yes - the aim of moving the nation to a theocracy is clearly being pushed by Hillsdale - TN is one example. They are active in Florida. South Dakota's gov turned the state's social studies standards over to Hillsdale. There are more examples of their attempted reach. Raising awareness of the dangers of this movement is critical.
