Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith.
The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.
By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.

Our country needs ten thousand Dr. Larry P. Arnns to properly educate future citizens! God bless you and Hillsdale with your mission, sir!

[@dangibby7782]

This is the only college I would pay to send my children to. They are too young right now. Keep these ethics and I will do my best to get them there! This country needs it.

Hillsdale seems to worship neo-liberalism way too much.

A philosopher once pointed out that “the teacher should love his children better than his State or his Church; otherwise he/she is not an ideal teacher.” I think education will remain a contentious and essential topic today. The speaker has underscored the pressing contemporary educational issues we are facing today. The modern technology today has created illiteracy and unemployment that can’t be resolved only by a “lifeboat.” An excellent teacher knows what to teach, how to teach, and how to improve.

[@jasonjohnson6344]

Larry Arn is one of the educators who stand out as giants of the art of stirring intellectual curiosity. He, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Jordan Peterson, and too few others, are men whom anyone fortunate enough to have interactions with...will one day look back and realize the rare gifts they received from such men. An old proverb state’s it well...”a child’s life is like a piece of paper, upon which, every person leaves a mark”. We should all be mindful of that simple admonition and nurture rather than indoctrinate. Always a pleasure to listen to such people as these. 👍👍👏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@jeramykelton5304]

Another great speaker today!!! Keep it up Hillsdale!!

[@rosesummers5075]

Thank you Hillsdale and professor , our future has to be about our past in order to insure our past does not infest our future. Teachers are our hope and our road to a life filled with armor, intellect, honor, faith and believe.

I’m sad that this video didn’t get more views. It’s so important. Everything we see happening today, at its very core is about education.

[@isaborg8353]

Very wise comment from the beautiful bearded gentleman😉. For most people with the move forward, find a solution and work together thinkers there is so much to loose, hard work so they would not be in the positions most of this people out on the streets destroy.g everything are, with all this time in their hands to just waist and since there is in their minds, nothing to loose...well let's destroy the house we live in because we are bored. Very hard and yes, it is much easy to be peddling others to do something that just do it. Also I agreed as my opinion too that we now have to pay, unfortunately, for the previous generation mistakes.

[@sadwingsraging3044]

Dr. Arnn you sir are an inspiration. I am glad to hear about the home schooling you are looking into and also that you are looking at getting some outposts in Red States. Come what may I can tell you this there are more people who are willing to die to remain free than there are willing to die to make us serfs to the State in the Red States. We need you sir and look forward to having you accept our hospitality however humble it may be. Now get your arse down here and quit lolly gagging! Times ah wastin! So,,, it has come to this.

Larry doesn’t appreciate his teachers. He may pretend to, but the truth has been revealed about how he really feels about the intellect of teachers.

[@russellbernheisel4861]

I would absolutely choose a masters in classical education and pursue a path in student services at a charter school over the other options available. I am in my final year of undergrad and I’ve decided to attend graduate school for school counseling. My major fear is that I would be pressured to suppress my beliefs in a public school setting.

[@ericwitt4359]

I'm a liberal and far leftist but I find it shameful about many conservative voices being suppressed.

[@michaelmasserang8922]

The public needs to familiarize itself with the GOP sponsored Morrill Act of 1862 and begin to understand the intent of congress for public lands donated to the states for the formation of the public school system. Engineering, Sciences, and Farming in the day. The circus we see today is a direct violation of that original intent of Congress to provide affordable education to the middle and working classes. Critical Race Theory is not only racist and Marxist, but it is unconstitutional and a direct violation of Title VII of the 1964 Civil rights Act. The average compensation in Cuba for a teacher is $318 per year American. Most of our teachers in the public sector are not worth that much. Activism and ideology are the cancer of the system and must be eliminated by using the above mentioned acts as as the basis of active lawsuits in the court system. Put educators back into the system. Before it is too late for the Republic to survive.

[@asdfasdf3989]

First half of this speech was all right. The second half went down the tubes. The analysis of what is going and how to fix is totally off. And apparently we are supposed to look fondly on the example of Margaret Thatcher quashing unions?

[@r38658]

The incident happened at a private event where Gov. Bill Lee and Dr. Larry Arnn spoke in front of an audience on the future of Tennessee’s education plan. In a video capturing the event, Dr. Arnn belittled Tennessee’s teachers, saying, among other things, “teachers are trained in the dumbest parts of the dumbest colleges in the country.” What a Garbage person is this? and heis the dean of the CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIAN COLLEGE?

Reagan and Thatcher played significant roles in the rise of neo-liberalism. The fact that so many worship them is frustrating.

[@dangibby7782]

It is suprising to me that you think a college that is teaching thru a 2000 year old doctrine is neoliberalism. These are the founding liberalism the US was created under. Personal responsibility and social cohesion thru personal sacrifice to Christian ideals. Social norms must manifest transcendly over government or the state will always become a totalitarian means of enforcement. Societies are always built on sacrifice. Voluntary sacrifice is the US's founding liberalism.

[@dangibby7782]

@@asdfasdf3989, neo-liberalism is the democratic socialist left and Democrats that value government intervention to alleviate personal responsibility. Classical Liberalism is the rejection of the state to intervene in all social matters. This is the voluntary liberalism this country was founded under. A liberal belief system is one at which non believers are not persecuted but, expected to voluntarily submit to it social rule to govern relationships.

[@tygerthelion8328]

How do blatantly racist, teacher-haters get to be president of universities? Do they teach this at his charter schools?

[@gordoncrawley5826]

Oh, be quiet, everything is racist, racist, racist.... You should check into Hillsdale's history and their stance against slavery from the very beginning. He is not against black skin, but black hearts, no matter what kind of skin they are in. What he is against is teachers who teach this "Woke" garbage, instead of teaching academics.
