Battle for the American Mind: Uprooting a Century of Miseducation

by: Pete Hegseth

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.

This book details our nations departure from a classical Christian education system. It exposes many of the shortcomings of the current public and many private schools in the USA and calls for a return to Classical Christian Education in America.
