WASHINGTON, D.C. — On Friday, March 13th, Hillsdale in D.C. hosted Secretary of Education Linda McMahon and Dr. Larry Arnn, President of Hillsdale College, for a discussion on America's 250 years and the role of education in preserving American institutions and ideas.
Secretary McMahon said, “This is a really nice thing to come by the new campus, to come and sit and visit with you, Dr. Arnn, I always enjoy that.”
Dr. Arnn asked the Secretary numerous questions, including what the Department of Education has been working on. The Secretary answered that they have been busy at work, reforming the FAFSA application for college applicants, working on a platform to compare college ROIs, and returning the important issue of education to the states.
Dr. Arnn responded, “That’s great. Get authority down to where teachers and parents and children gather, that is, the school, under the control and care of those who love the children.”
Secretary McMahon, in a discussion of higher education and in affirming Hillsdale’s mission, remarked, “Colleges should be truth-seeking institutions, a place for open debate and to teach people how to think.”
“Education and America at 250: A Conversation with Secretary Linda McMahon and Dr. Larry Arnn” was held in part of Hillsdale in D.C.’s America 250 series.
