Friend,

Did you read in the news how several leading colleges and universities reacted to last month’s election?

Some of these so-called elite institutions canceled classes and gave students coloring books, hot cocoa, and counseling so they could cope with the election results.

Could there be better proof that too many of America’s schools fail to prepare their students to be responsible citizens of the world’s greatest and longest-lasting constitutional republic?

Yet, we should not really be surprised by this. After all, the forces of the anti-American Left have been focused on seizing control of our educational institutions since the late 1960s.

Too many young Americans are taught that our nation’s founding principles were developed to promote white supremacy, that natural rights and private property are codewords for fascism, and that justice requires the destruction of capitalism.

To normal, hard-working Americans, this sounds insane. That’s because it is insane.

Our American way of life is under relentless attack on campuses across the country. This problem won’t be fixed quickly or easily—although I believe we have the opportunity to score significant victories in the coming year.

I am hopeful for our future, and one of the main reasons I am hopeful is the sense of civic responsibility and generosity of people like YOU.

With your support, Hillsdale College plans to redouble its efforts in 2025 to revive and preserve liberty through education.

Given the urgency of engaging the Left on the battleground of education, will you consider a tax-deductible gift today to help Hillsdale College expand its educational outreach efforts on behalf of liberty? 

You will help us to expand the production of our free online courses, increase the readership of Imprimis, and launch increasing numbers of Hillsdale-affiliated classical K-12 charter schools nationwide. 

Stepping up the battle to retake American education from the anti-American Left is an essential part of restoring and preserving the American way of life. It will take a mighty effort—but in the words of Hillsdale’s motto, “Strength Rejoices in the Challenge.”

Your generous support of our educational outreach programs will help us to reach and teach additional millions of our fellow citizens.

As you know, Hillsdale refuses to accept one penny of government funding—not even indirectly in the form of federal or state student grants and loans. 

This allows Hillsdale to remain genuinely independent and focused on its mission, free of burdensome and corrupting federal regulations.

But it also means that all our work—including our educational outreach efforts on behalf of liberty—is entirely dependent on the support of citizens, like you, who understand the importance of education to liberty.

2025 will be a critical year, and the Left will pull out all the stops to keep its stranglehold on our government and on our schools.

It will take significant resources to promote our online courses—such as our recent course on “Marxism, Socialism, and Communism”—while also expanding Hillsdale’s other educational outreach efforts.

Many of our most faithful supporters give gifts of $25 or $50, while others give gifts of $100, $500, or even more. What’s most important is that you give what you can.

Please help today by making your best tax-deductible, year-end gift using the secure, convenient link below:
