Hillsdale offers some excellent online courses and lectures on the Constitution. The college accepts donations, but provides the online lectures for free. I studied the Constitution extensively in law school, but still managed to learn a few things from the Hillsdale courses. I highly recommend them, if any of you have the time.

Sounds like school's very worthwhile and well rounded place for students.
And, like they have some very considerate and generous sponsors too.

It's too bad that there isn't more colleges like Hillsdale. Our country would be better off if there were more.
The overwhelming number of our institutes of higher education are cesspools of Liberal Bull Schiff.

Just a few months ago I took two friends in TX to a Project Appleseed Rifle Marksmanship Clinic...their first time shooting. Their daughter attends Hillsdale. You can't defend the right to arms from a collectivist position and Hillsdale College understands the crucial philosophical basis required to defend freedom. Very pleased to see that Springfield Armory is supporting the shooting team there, they could have selected any other school in the nation and that they chose Hillsdale is telling.
Hillsdale College and Project Appleseed give hope for the nation.

Here's more history from Wikipedia: Project Appleseed started from a series of ads appearing in Shotgun News, a monthly gun trade newspaper publication. These ads were written under a pseudonym by a fellow who simply called himself "Fred". "Fred," the founder of Project Appleseed, whose real name is Jack Dailey, wrote a long running column—actually a portion of ad space for Fred's M14 Stocks—starting in 1999.[6] A common theme in these columns was "Are you a cook or a rifleman?", a "cook" being Fred's term for an unqualified shooter. The name of the project was in deference to Johnny Appleseed, an American pioneer nurseryman and grass roots missionary who traveled the American frontier planting apple trees across the land with the goal of spreading the number of apple trees in America. Fred's goal was to accomplish the same with civic-minded Riflemen in America. Project Appleseed itself began in April 2006 in Ramseur, North Carolina.[3] These long-running ads ceased in 2017, upon Jack Dailey retiring and selling his business. After Mr. Dailey retired, a board of directors, termed the "Appleseed Oversight Committee" (AOC), assumed responsibility for the program beginning in 2015.
