I sent below to the school board after seeing their plans to approve a second classical charter school. I knew it was going to pass, to fight back against what is wrong takes courage, and as we have seen all year long, the board lacks it, but I had hoped for some toke resistance, but apparently thinking racism doesn't exist and gay people are going to burn in hell doesn't move the needle for our school board.
I have grave concerns about the expansion of the Classical Charter school.
They get their curriculum from the Hillsdale Barney Charter school initiative.

Hillsdale is a small far-right liberal arts college out of Michigan, and recently they have sent out a series of mailers to locals.

They espouse some pretty radical theories where they basically say racism is a made-up tool to divide society so the radical left can seize power.
For as long as I can remember, the right has accused public schools of trying to indoctrinate kids; well, friends, this seems like some straight-up far-right indoctrination on their part.
Furthermore, last year, Hillsdale sent out a Facebook poll asking how afraid of socialism people were; I kid a little, but the answers were basically really scared, and really #$@%ing scared,

How can we be sure that far-right indoctrination isn’t going on? Then, however, it gets worse.
