The Battle for the American Mind

In this book, Pete Hegseth and David Goodwin argue that progressive ideologies have significantly impacted America's education system, leading to a decline in traditional values and academic performance.

They contend that early progressives sought political control through education, replacing classical education with progressive ideals.

The authors suggest that this has resulted in students who hate America, disdain religion, and lack basic reading and writing skills.

They propose a return to classical Christian education as a solution to reverse these trends and restore the values that have sustained Western civilization.

The book serves as a field guide for parents and educators to reform the education system and promote a philosophy of education grounded in virtue and excellence.
