Pat Sajak is the chairman of Hillsdale college

View this post on Instagram Instagram Post Pat Sajak has never shied away from expressing his conservative opinions in public. In fact, he has been serving as a board member at Michigan's Hillsdale College, a conservative Christian school, since 2003. As per WKFR, Sajak was never a student of the college but attended Columbia College, Chicago. However, in 2019, the 75-year-old took over the chairmanship of the college's Board of Trustees after William Brodbeck retired from the position. While speaking to the campus newspaper, Brodbeck defended Sajak's lack of degree despite heading the board. He said: "Pat is a brilliant mind. He brings a sound knowledge of the school...He can dramatically move Hillsdale forward, both on campus and around the country." Max Taylor@MaxTaylor_98Great game day visit today at Hillsdale College.

In 2018, an early draft influenced by a state senator and a conservative group revised social studies by deleting references to climate change, LGBTQIA+ rights and eliminating the word "democratic" from “core democratic values.” However, these changes were soon restored after Republicans on the State Board of Education started raising concerns. Hillsdale is collaborating with Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis in Florida to reinstate a focus on civic education and has helped design an optional teacher training program.

The board currently has six Democrats and two Republicans. Arnn recently headed the 1776 Commission - a lengthy 45-page report that attacks "identity politics." It was created by Donald Trump during the last days of his administration to ensure “patriotic education." As per Bridge Michigan, it read: “Is it reasonable to believe that slavery could have been abolished sooner had the slave states not been in a union with the free? Perhaps. But what is momentous is that a people that included slaveholders founded their nation on the proposition that ‘all men are created equal.’” Hillsdale College@HillsdaleLarry Arnn joined more than 500 pastors and faith leaders in San Diego at the first annual Pastors Summit, hosted by Turning Point USA Faith.

Bill Lee. According to The Tennessean, a leaked video showed Larry Arnn stating that teachers were trained "in the dumbest parts of the dumbest colleges in the country," which sparked outrage among educators and lawmakers. In a statement, Skillern Elementary school CEO, Angie Markum, said: "In order to use our time tending to the mission of the school rather than defending ourselves from attempts to mischaracterize our efforts, we have terminated the agreement with Hillsdale that would have allowed us to use a program guide as a planning aid for our teachers." Markum further stated: "We do not wish to participate in media frenzies, because the job of educating students is too important for us to give attention to anything else. We support our teachers and recognize that excellent teachers are ultimately the reason that any school succeeds." The Republican-controlled Michigan legislature is debating two proposals that would restrict how schools teach race and history. One legislation would prohibit the teaching of "critical race theory" and The 1619 Project. Tennessee and Florida both enacted similar legislation in 2021.
