“[The Department of Education] has completely failed and therefore it should be eliminated,” Donalds said on Fox News Radio last week. Donalds now provides management services to four charter schools as well as an “online academy,” according to her company website. All are closely aligned with Hillsdale College, which develops conservative, or “classical,” curriculum for charter schools across the country. Any pay Donalds has received from OptimaEd isn’t known, but she listed a 2022 salary of $183,326 from the Optima Foundation. Fox News’ Pete Hegseth, Trump nominee for Secretary of Defense, touts the Optima Foundation.
