Fellow intelligent patriot,

I hope you’re having a great day so far!

It’s been busy here at Hillsdale College because we’ve finally completed a project that’s been in the works for a long time.  

You’re probably wondering what I’m talking about, so I won’t keep you in suspense any longer. 

Here it is:

Our Hillsdale 1776 Curriculum for K-12 students is ready for classrooms across the country! 

We’re all very excited and hopeful about this project’s potential impact, and I know you will be as well…especially after I give you more details!

The Hillsdale 1776 Curriculum is a K-12 history and civics curriculum that covers the triumphs and tragedies of American history fairly and comprehensively. 

The curriculum was not designed by activists or ideologues but by teachers and professors at Hillsdale College. It’s so important that we are making it available absolutely free of charge.

The massive 2,200-page, 85-lesson curriculum comes from years of diligent study of America, its history, and its founding principles. And it was developed and tested in school classrooms around the country.

As I mentioned, our K-12 Education Office at the College built this curriculum over many months of intense and focused effort—in many ways, its roots extend back to the beginning of the College itself in 1844. 

I’m sure you’ve noticed how far too many politicians, media personalities, and sadly even educators are pushing an anti-American narrative on our children.  

This means there is now a choice before us: will we allow these education bureaucrats to choose what schoolchildren learn?

Or, will we teach them the whole truth through a sound curriculum that presents a fair, unbiased, and comprehensive view of our nation’s history?

Personally, and I hope you agree that this choice is obvious.   

When we provide students with the unbiased history of our country, they will naturally recognize that America is not a place of “oppression” and “injustice” but an exceptional nation worth defending.  

You can make the Hillsdale 1776 Curriculum a success by helping us blanket the nation with promotions about it and our other outreach efforts like Imprimis, free online courses, and other educational programs. 

Our K-12 education staff spent months putting the curriculum together. And our marketing team has already designed the print and online ads, and we’ve recorded the radio commercials...

...all we need now is your support to keep these promotions running so we can place the Hillsdale 1776 Curriculum into the hands of as many teachers and homeschool families as possible. 

Oh...and did I mention that educators (and you) can download the full curriculum for FREE? Well, you can! 

The Hillsdale 1776 Curriculum is available for absolutely no cost because it’s a part of our 179-year-old-mission: to provide “sound learning” of the kind needed to preserve “the inestimable blessings of civil and religious liberty.” 

We’ve set a goal to raise $1,500,000 for this vital and important effort, and I hope you’ll join us. With students around the country back in their classrooms, we cannot lose a moment promoting this curriculum and our other educational outreach.

Everything we do to reach and teach Americans of all ages about the principles of liberty depends on the support of informed patriots like you! 

That’s because we refuse to accept any government funding...EVERY PENNY—even indirect aid like federal or state student loans and grants.

I’m thrilled to tell you about the Hillsdale 1776 Curriculum. It’s part of our promise to redouble our efforts to restore and defend liberty this year. 

Hopefully, you’re as excited as I am to present a fair, unbiased, and comprehensive view of our nation’s history to our nation’s schoolchildren.

Please help us reach our $1,500,000 budget goal. And thank you in advance for preserving liberty for our children and grandchildren! 

For our children,

Bill Gray
