Phoenix’s NBC News affiliate reports:

The Donald Trump-endorsed nominee for Arizona governor wants the state’s schoolchildren to learn from a curriculum inspired in part by Trump.

“We want a curriculum that makes sense. We want a curriculum that sets our kids up for success,” Republican Kari Lake, a former TV news anchor, said at an event at the state Capitol. “I believe in the Hillsdale College curriculum.”

Lake favors a history and civics curriculum developed by Hillsdale College, a private Christian school in Michigan that’s influential in right-wing circles. Hillsdale College President Larry Arnn was the chairman of former President Trump’s short-lived 1776 Commission, created to support what Trump called “patriotic education.”

Hillsdale also had a hand in crafting the Christianist social studies program announced today by South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem and in the “anti-woke” curriculum pushed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
