b'Battle for the American Mind: Uprooting a Century of Miseducation by Pete Hegseth and David Goodwin.\\nPete Hegseth and David Goodwin, authors of "Battle for the American Mind," are in the studio to examine public education and how we went from God-centered learning to state-run indoctrination. \\nPete Hegseth and David Goodwin continue their in-studio interview with facts from their new book, "Battle for the American Mind," which investigates the decades-long decline of public education\\nThe Eric Metaxas Show\\n\\xa0May 11 2022\\xa0\\xa0\\nThe Eric Metaxas Show- https://metaxastalk.com/podcasts/\\n\\xa0\\nAbout the Book:\\nBattle for the American Mind: Uprooting a Century of Miseducation by Pete Hegseth and David Goodwin\\nNew York Times\\xa0bestselling author and 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.\\xa0\\nBehind a smokescreen of \\u201cpreparing students for the new industrial economy,\\u201d early progressives had political control in mind. America\\u2019s original schools didn\\u2019t 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.\\xa0\\nToday, 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\\u2014let 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.\\nBattle for the American\\xa0Mind\\xa0is the untold story of the Progressive plan to neutralize the basis of our Republic \\u2013 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\\u2014and control the \\u201csupply lines\\u201d of future citizens.\\xa0\\xa0Reversing this reality will require parents to radically reorient their children\\u2019s education; even most homeschooling and Christian schooling are infused with progressive assumptions. We need\\xa0to recover a lost philosophy of education \\u2013 grounded in virtue and excellence \\u2013 that can arm future generations to fight for freedom. It\\u2019s called classical Christian education. Never heard of it? You\\u2019re not alone.\\nBattle for the American Mind\\xa0is more than a book; it\\u2019s a field guide for remaking school in the United States.\\xa0We\\u2019ve ceded our kids\\u2019 minds to the left for far too long\\u2014this book gives patriotic parents the ammunition to join an insurgency that gives America a fighting chance.\\n\\xa0\\n-----------------------------------------------------------------\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 \\nJoin us in our effort to free over 350 slaves. Listeners to the Eric Metaxas Show will remember our annual effort to free Christians who have been enslaved for simply acknowledging Jesus Christ as their Savior.
