Friend of Liberty,

I have a special gift for you—a set of unique notecards featuring
pictures of the “Liberty Walk” statues found on the Hillsdale
College campus.

These beautiful cards include George Washington and Thomas
Jefferson … Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass … Winston
Churchill, Margaret Thatcher, and Ronald Reagan.

All of these statues stand proudly on Hillsdale’s Michigan
campus—one of the only institutions of higher learning that
refuses EVERY PENNY of government funding, even indirectly in the
form of federal or state student grants and loans.

You can view the cards at this secure link:

Let the cards serve as a reminder to you of the vigilance and
commitment needed to defend liberty—especially right now, a
critical time for our country.

Sadly, several polls and events around the country show that
increasing numbers of young Americans are being drawn to
socialism and other ideas destructive of liberty.

And the unrest in communities nationwide, where statues of our
Founding Fathers are being vandalized or torn down, is another
symptom of this underlying disease.

What explains this development? As an educator and president of
Hillsdale, I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. Here’s
one primary reason…

For decades, the “progressive” leftist academics who became
dominant in most of America’s colleges and universities after the
1960s have been teaching a biased and distorted view of American
history.

The New York Times’ “1619 Project” is a prime example.

According to the “1619 Project,” the key to understanding America
is not freedom, but slavery—and the Project’s main goal is to
inject this false teaching into the curricula of America’s K–12
schools.

Imagine young minds in classrooms all over American learning
this. Does it make you as concerned as it does me?

And given this trend in American education, is it any wonder that
our young people feel less of a patriotic attachment to our
nation and are increasingly attracted—out of ignorance—to failed
ideas such as socialism, ideas that are destructive of liberty?

Another sign of the “progressive” Left’s influence is the
continuing attempt to erase our American heritage by destroying
monuments, renaming schools and streets, and censoring works of
literature in the name of “political correctness.”

The Left knows that it cannot remake society according to its
ever-evolving idea of “progress” until it has “canceled”
patriotism and hallowed out the idea that we should be grateful
for our blessings to the great men and women of the past—many of
whom are depicted on the cards I’d like to send you.

This is why we are engaging the Left on the battlefield of
education … and why your generous support is needed right away.

After all, those on the Left are extremely well-funded, thanks to
liberal billionaires like George Soros and his ilk.

With the support of citizens like you—citizens who understand the
importance of education to liberty—we are ramping up its outreach
efforts on behalf of liberty, especially to our nation’s youth.

It is even more urgent that we do so in the face of efforts such
as The New York Times’ “1619 Project” that undermine patriotism
and lead to an increased pull toward socialism.

Hillsdale is the only educational institution in America that is
reaching and teaching millions of citizens of all ages, from
coast to coast, about America’s great heritage of liberty.

Your generous support today will...

* Expand the circulation of Imprimis, Hillsdale’s digest of
liberty, to reach millions more Americans (you can also receive a
free subscription of Imprimis…for life).

* Send millions of pocket-size copies of America’s founding
documents to schools across America, and to members of our armed
forces, who have sworn to defend the Constitution.

* Increase the number of citizens (especially younger Americans)
enrolling in Hillsdale’s free online courses such as
“Constitution 101” and “The Great American Story: A Land of
Hope.”

* Launch and support more and more Hillsdale-affiliated classical
K-12 charter schools nationwide, returning excellence to American
K-12 education and impacting thousands of our youngest citizens.

One other thing you should be aware of…

As I mentioned, to maintain our independence, we do all of this
liberty-defending work while refusing EVERY PENNY of government
funding—even indirectly in the form of federal or state student
grants and loans. NOT. ONE. PENNY.

So, your support is even more crucial to ensuring that future
generations of Americans will be educated in American civics and
prepared to defend freedom.

With a gift of $17.76 or more today to support educational
outreach efforts that reach and teach millions, Hillsdale will
send you a special notecard set featuring the statues on our
“Liberty Walk.” The cards are a thank you for your support.

Supplies are limited, so please make your best tax-deductible
gift right away.

You can view the cards and give your best tax-deductible gift of
$17.76, $25, $50, $100, or even $250 or more by following the

After receiving your notecards, I hope you’ll send one to a young
person you know, encouraging them to learn more about the
Constitution and American history. You can even recommend that
they take advantage of Hillsdale’s many free educational
resources.

The Left is going all out, as illustrated by The New York Times’
“1619 Project.” It is urgent that we engage forcefully on the
battlefield of education … which is why your support is needed
today.

Because as always, our only sure defense is an educated citizenry
prepared to defend liberty—no matter the cost.

Warm regards,

Bill Gray
