We sit down with journalist Kathryn Joyce to discuss her series of articles at Salon spotlighting Michigan's own Hillsdale College and its role in the current right-wing push to transform and dismantle public education. We discuss the history of the college and how it ties into its current role in creating many of the right-wing strategies on education we see around the country, how this is functioning at a ground level at school board meetings and media propaganda, and how it ties into an overall goal to siphon public funds into schools that share the Hillsdale curriculum (i.e., light on harsh truths, heavy on the American exceptionalism).
