Behind a smokescreen of โ€œpreparing students for the new industrial economy,โ€ early progressives had political control in mind. Americaโ€™s original schools didnโ€™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 writeโ€”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 โ€“ 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 warโ€”and control the โ€œsupply linesโ€ of future citizens.  Reversing this reality will require parents to radically reorient their childrenโ€™s education; even most homeschooling and Christian schooling are infused with progressive assumptions. We need to recover a lost philosophy of education โ€“ grounded in virtue and excellence โ€“ that can arm future generations to fight for freedom. Itโ€™s called classical Christian education. Never heard of it? Youโ€™re not alone.

Battle for the American Mind is more than a book; itโ€™s a field guide for remaking school in the United States. Weโ€™ve ceded our kidsโ€™ minds to the left for far too longโ€”this book gives patriotic parents the ammunition to join an insurgency that gives America a fighting chance.

Review

โ€œPete Hegseth brilliantly spotlights one of the most important issues facing our country: Americaโ€™s children and their education. By exposing the undercurrents of wayward indoctrination in American education and reorienting the reader toward classical Christian education, he provides a solution to the feeling of hopelessness so many parents experience. Pete unrolls a road map to saving Americaโ€™s children and providing our little ones a path to prosperity, success, and well-being.โ€ โ€” Kayleigh McEnany

โ€œForget what you thought you knew about education in Americaโ€”this book will rock your consciousness. Battle for the American Mind exposes the insidious and hidden Marxist takeover of Americaโ€™s classrooms, and arms every citizen, parent, and grandparent with a plan to fight back. For the sake of our Republic, read Pete Hegsethโ€™s book.โ€ โ€” Mark Levin

โ€œPete Hegseth, along with David Goodwin, argues that a return to classical education alone cannot save American students from a century of ideological pollution and dumbing down of both Kโ€“12 and higher education. Instead, they envision โ€œChristian paideiaโ€ reuniting Jerusalem with Athens and Rome, thereby restoring rational, empirical training that enhances faith and spirituality. Battle for the American Mind is cogent, occasionally polemical, and always engaging. Let us hope its passionate case for restoring morality and sanity helps to spark an American educational renaissance.โ€ โ€” Victor Davis Hanson

โ€œIt is time to rethink the importance of education and bring it back under the Lordship of Christ. Much of the compromise we see in the church can be traced to how we educate our children. This work pulls back the veil to reveal the sinister agenda of progressive education and prescribes a little-known antidote that will, with the grace of our Lord, have a real impact on the future of our kids.โ€ โ€” John MacArthur

โ€œPete Hegseth is a patriot, and as such he is unwilling to abandon the educational system to the predations of the militant Left. In Battle for the American Mind, Hegseth lays out the state of play: how far gone our educational system is and what we can do to take it back.โ€ โ€” Ben Shapiro

โ€œIf you want your civilization to continue, few things matter more than what your children learn in school. Our kids are learning to hate the society our ancestors built. Pete Hegseth has seen it, and in this book, heโ€™s got a solution.โ€ โ€” Tucker Carlson

โ€œPete is a phenomenal patriot and this book is a must-read. The education fight is the most critical in America.โ€
โ€” Charlie Kirk

โ€œLiberals have been using the education system as an indoctrination assembly line for decades. This book is an eye-opener and a must-read for any parent concerned about their childrenโ€™s future.โ€ โ€” Dan Bongino
