#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 write—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 – 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 war—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 – grounded in virtue and excellence – 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 long—this book gives patriotic parents the ammunition to join an insurgency that gives America a fighting chance.

Whether you're a conservative looking to push back against the progressive agenda or simply someone who cares about the education of our children, this book is for you.

What the hell happened?

Not long ago I looked at America and asked, how did so many people get so stupid so fast? Now I know! Pete explains how it actually took 100 years of progressive Marxism to metastasis within American education. But more importantly he explains the chemotherapy we now must endure to heal.

Very educational and informative

This was a very educational and informative book. I had no Idea how deep the progressive agenda ran. Looking forward to working with our local church who is in the process of forming a Classical Christian School

Pastor Endorsed

I don't review many books but this is so far above average that I have been recommending it to everyone I know. This work is so necessary at this particular time in our nation's journey. I can only hope and pray that the inspiration I have received by it will be contagious.

Inspiring

I will do the research and see what there is that I can do.
They did their homework on this book.

Excellent!!

Well written and much needed book which outlines how to get back to our Christian roots in America!

Great Book, greater Message

Well worth the time. This book exposes the rot that (we all know) lives fully protected in our government school system. Enjoyed it very much.

Incredible!

I strongly recommend any parent to listen to this book. Desperate times call for desperate measures!

Bravo

Magnificent work, gents. Thoroughly researched passionately presented. Must read for anyone concerned about the future viability of this republic.

Eye opening

As the father of a 19,16, and 9 year old, I wish I could have found this book 20 years ago. This work provides a detail history of how American education has strayed from classical education to indoctrination.

My Eyes Are More Wide Open!

WOW! What a beautifully written book. The information in it is mind blowing. My eyes were already open but this opened my eyes WIDE open. I've suggested this book to numerous people. Thank you for helping to change our futures, even if we are not here to see it.
