Description

Schools across America—both public and private—are embracing the left's radical ideas at an alarming rate. These ideas have found their way into curriculum, sometimes subtly and other times overtly.Many parents have had enough. They're taking action and speaking out—winning seats on school boards, demanding transparency from teachers, and insisting that their kids learn the foundational values that made America the greatest country on earth.Now, thanks to Hillsdale College, there’s a curriculum that parents can use to ensure their children are getting the education they deserve. Matthew Spalding, Hilldale's vice president of Washington operations and dean of the Van Andel Graduate School of Government, joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to talk about the curriculum and why it’s needed now more than ever."It's important for us to realize that while we might think this is merely a debate about different opinions about history," Spalding says, "this is about debate between history on the one hand—good, accurate history and we can have some disagreements here and there, but generally speaking, there's a broad consensus about that—and an ideological approach, which is using history merely as a foil to fight current battles."Listen to my interview with Spalding on the podcast or read a lightly edited transcript below. You may learn more about the Hillsdale 1776 Curriculum on the school's website and access other K-12 resources there as well.Enjoy the show! Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
