2. It's also the only place in the United States that is allowed to have a statue of Margaret Thatcher?

Did not know that statues of Margaret Thatcher were specifically prohibited in every location but Hillsdale? Why were they allowed to have one? Odd law that would prohibit something like that. Do you know how ridiculous that sounds?

I live very close to Hillsdale, and while I don't agree with most of their positions, it is a pretty good school from what I have heard and contributes a lot to the local area

Did you know " Hillsdale's charter prohibits any discrimination based on race, religion, or sex, and the College has been credited as the first American college to prohibit this type of discrimination in a charter."

"Notably, Hillsdale's football team refused to play in the 1956 Tangerine Bowl in Florida when the governing committee of the Bowl would not allow the team's black players to join the white players on the field; the committee then selected Juniata College instead."
