Is anyone else getting Hillsdale college ads on You Tube or elsewhere for Constitution 101 course?

It seems to be selling the notion that the "administrative state" is not what the founders and writers of the constitution intended...surely part of their plan to re-educate and mis-educate young Americans with distorted versions of history to get people to vote against democracy.

If they get enough reports, they will be demonetized. Fuck Hillsdale College.

I'm youtube premium, so I don't see ads.
But, I've seen that ad on Story TV, History Channel, & AHC.
So I know the galling drivel you're talking about.

with seemingly intellectual analysis of history. Not sure how many uninformed or naive people would fall for it and become the ma ga youth. Feel if I flag it, it might only serve to put a target on my account and then I would never realize the many ways these groups are trying to warp reality to achieve their authoritarian agenda. Like not knowing when someone is lying about you behind your back so to speak.

When I click the ad link about the ad, it says the ad was chosen based on google's assessment of my interests. Guarantee that's not a good assessment. Came through under TH youtube stream. So does Goo gle not know the difference between biased history and real?
