• Gov. Bill Lee of Tennessee is allowing the college to start the schools, using public funds, including $32 million set aside for charter facilities 
• Hillsdale's network currently includes 24 schools in 13 states
• The college developed the '1776 Curriculum,' which sets out to portray America as 'an exceptionally good country' 
• Set-up in direct response to the New York Times' 1619 Project, which argues that US progress was all made thanks to slavery  
• The college does not accept state or federal funding, but relies partly on donations from conservative benefactors
