#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

FOX News host Pete Hegseth is back with what he says is his most important book yet: A revolutionary road map to saving our children from leftist indoctrination.

Behind a smokescreen of "preparing students for the new industrial economy," early progressives had political control in mind. America's original schools didn't just make kids memorize facts or learn skills; they taught them to think freely and arrive at wisdom. They assigned the classics, inspired love of God and country, and raised future citizens that changed the world forever.

Today, after 16,000 hours of K-12 indoctrination, our kids come out of government schools hating America. They roll their eyes at religion and disdain our history. We spend more money on education than ever, but kids can barely read and writeâ??let alone reason with discernment. Western culture is on the ropes. Kids are bored and aimless, flailing for purpose in a system that says racial and gender identity is everything.

Battle for the American Mind is the untold story of the Progressive plan to neutralize the basis of our Republic â?? by removing the one ingredient that had sustained Western Civilization for thousands of years. Pete Hegseth and David Goodwin explain why, no matter what political skirmishes conservatives win, progressives are winning the warâ??and control the "supply lines" of future citizens. Reversing this reality will require parents to radically reorient their children's education; even most homeschooling and Christian schooling are infused with progressive assumptions. We need to recover a lost philosophy of education â?? grounded in virtue and excellence â?? that can arm future generations to fight for freedom. It's called classical Christian education. Never heard of it? You're not alone.

Battle for the American Mind is more than a book; it's a field guide for remaking school in the United States. We've ceded our kids' minds to the left for far too longâ??this book gives patriotic parents the ammunition to join an insurgency that gives America a fig… (mehr)

Although I agree with portions of this book, I found it a bit rambling and not as systematic as I would prefer when reading. There is much that I admire about Classical Education, but I wouldn't view it as a one-size-fits-all panacea for our current educational ills. I certainly don't agree with his suggestion at the end of the book to push for federal funding of alternative educational systems; not without a lot of caveats and qualifications at least. In general, federal money always comes with federal control eventually. Neither do I concur with replicating the educational pipeline and accreditation system now in existence.

Overall, I had the sense of the author grasping at a new shiny object he recently found out about - in this case - his Classical Christian Education - as the ultimate salve - for what he views as the defects in the public educational system. In contrast, I do agree with the larger points made about how world-view and, especially, how we view human nature, radically determines how we view education and the end goal of education.

At the end of the day I prefer letting parents decide what is best for their children; and that children - even within a family - are different and may have different needs and be in need of different educational methods. Classical Education should be considered, but not as a one-size-fits-all as a replacement whole cloth for the public education system. ( )
