Curriculum claims MLK did not favor 'force of law'

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — If Gov. Bill Lee gets his way, Tennessee will become a major player in a network of taxpayer-funded charter schools set up by a Michigan college with close ties to former President Donald Trump.

Lee calls Hillsdale College's approach to teaching civics "informed patriotism."

But the colleges' own teaching materials reveal why critics say its approach is anything but informed. For example, Hillsdale falsely claims that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. did not favor using the "force of law" to achieve civil rights victories.

"This curriculum has a political bent to it," said Nashville historian David Ewing, who reviewed the materials at NewsChannel 5's request.

have a vested interest in preserving and extending Fascism. History has to be the first victim. Truth is optimal depending on the circumstances. The Goal of the right is to divide and conquer. We must accept, that in life there is a natural order; a class or rulers and a class of peasants. It is what God intended.
