Inspired by the insights of \u003cem\u003eBattle for the American Mind\u003c\/em\u003e, many gratefully embraced Classical Christian Education as an alternative—a deep tradition grounded in a biblical worldview. Instead of creating soulless careerists or woke activists, the lost tradition of CCE teaches children to care more about virtue and wisdom rather than conforming to a corrupt culture. New schools are popping up around the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, parents and educators need a roadmap for incorporating CCE into kids’ lives. This is that map.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Goodwin has taught classical Christian education for decades. In \u003cem\u003eForging the American Mind\u003c\/em\u003e, he lays out practices, recommendations, and stories filled with simple, hard-won advice on how to parent and teach kids with wisdom, love, and ambition. How do you teach language? How do you teach Plato? What’s the best way to teach Christian history? How do you balance students’ individuality with respect for community? Goodwin offers answers to these questions and many more, and gives parents year-by-year plans, starting with the rambunctious elementary school years, through middle and high school, and concludes with an ambitious path to adulthood for teens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eForging the American Mind\u003c\/em\u003e is a revolutionary road map for transforming education. This book gives devout parents and teachers the concrete information and inspiration they need to build a new and better way of learning for all American children.\u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003e“Pete is a phenomenal patriot and this book is a must-read. The education fight is the most critical in America.” \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCharlie Kirk\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Liberals have been using the education system as an indoctrination assembly line for decades.

Our kids are learning to hate the society our ancestors built. Pete Hegseth has seen it, and in this book, he’s got a solution.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTucker Carlson\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Pete 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 K–12 and higher education. Instead, they envision “Christian paideia” reuniting Jerusalem with Athens and Rome, thereby restoring rational, empirical training that enhances faith and spirituality. \u003cem\u003eBattle for the American Mind\u003c\/em\u003e 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.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eVictor Davis Hanson\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“It 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.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eJohn MacArthur\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Forget what you thought you knew about education in America—this book will rock your consciousness. \u003cem\u003eBattle for the American Mind\u003c\/em\u003e exposes the insidious and hidden Marxist takeover of America’s classrooms, and arms every citizen, parent, and grandparent with a plan to fight back.

In \u003cem\u003eBattle for the American Mind\u003c\/em\u003e, Hegseth lays out the state of play: how far gone our educational system is and what we can do to take it back.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBen Shapiro\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Pete Hegseth brilliantly spotlights one of the most important issues facing our country: America’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 America’s children and providing our little ones a path to prosperity, success, and well-being.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKayleigh McEnany\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadside Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48588001673445,"sku":"NP9780063329034","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780063329034.jpg?v=1773960234","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/forging-the-american-mind-a-yearbyyear-guide-for-classical-christian-education-isbn-9780063329034","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
