Answer

Hidalgo was ousted from Colegio de San Nicolás Obispo in Valladolid in 1792 because he was suspected of being a liberal and of harboring separatist and anti-colonial ideas. He was accused of writing a poem that was critical of the Spanish government, and he was also suspected of having contact with the French Revolutionaries.
