There’s a battle for our minds and the minds of our children and young people. This blog will be based off the book, “Battle for the American Mind” by Pete Hegseth. In this book, he talks about uprooting century of miseducation of our youths. The American people came to this realization while during the Pandemic when schools were shut down and classes was done online. For once, parents were able to actually see what was being taught to their kids in school. Our education system was able to pull a fast one over the parents up to then. Now that they know what is being taught in our schools, they are coming up against the school boards in protest. By taking on the school boards, parents are labeled “Domestic Terrorist by the school boards, President Joe Biden, the Democrats and our Leftist news media.

Behind a smoke screen 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 who 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. Kids are bored and aimless, flailing for purpose in a system that says racial and gender identity are everything.

Unless we undo that foundational damage, nothing we do in public schools will change our course toward tyranny and thought control. It’s very similar to the book, “1984,” where they talked about the thought police will have you arrested if you dare think against them and the government. It’s also similar to what Adolf Hitler was doing during his reign of terror during World War 2. The Nazi was indoctrinating young boys for their own political gain, turning them against their parents.

The most evident revelation from this development was the theory our kids have been taught about race in American classroom. Seemingly out of nowhere-and accelerated after the Black Lives Matters riots in the summer of 2020-concepts like white privilege and systemic racism and even a new founding date for America, the year 1619, were splashed across computer screens all over America. Critical Race Theory had fully arrived, often masked as “Diversity,Equity, and Inclusion,” along with a full attempt to redefine gender, infuse climate fatalism, and turn our children into activists.

The problem is often not even individual schools or school boards; in fact, many parents, teachers, and administrators seem numb. At least not until the schools were shut down because of Covid, when parents were able to finally get a taste what was being taught in our schools.

The blame for the problems in America, and rightfully so, was on Leftism…fed by worshipping concepts like multiculturalism, socialism, genderism,secularism, and other dangerous “ism”.

The condemnation of dissent may look different-North Korea prefers concentration camps. America prefers cancellation, marginalization, and labeling-but the reality is the same. America’s elites are hell bent on changing the landscape in America. In America today, private thoughts are not allowed, just like in the book, “1984.”

When I was in school, we would stand and say the Pledge of Allegiance out of respect for America. Now our kids don’t do that in our public schools.

People of faith are tough, hardworking and fiercely protective of their God given freedoms. Yet the system is stacked against them.

America’s instruments of media,Hollywood, corporate boardrooms, and government bureaucracies, and even the new “woke” military have taken a turn toward an unrecognizable America, full of censorship.

They rather dumb it down; so not to offend anyone.

Parents today need to continue to stay informed, involved and active in asking questions, researching on their own and fighting for their kids rights. It’s time to go back teaching the basics: history, math, reading, science. Kids today are not taught cursive writing in schools anymore.

It’s not enough to yell at the school board when they erase names of holidays, change the gender designation on bathrooms, force our young, healthy kids to wear masks and advance critical race Theory. They are even forcing the use of pronouns for gender recognition. They are not letting kids be themselves; thus making some confused. Kids need to be kids without being push into something they may not be. At the same time they need to be themselves without anyone harassing them because they are different.

Marxist teachers colleges pump out ideological teachers, left-wing teachers unions reign supreme, PTAs are neutered, school boards scared fully “Woke.”

How did the Left get in such a dominant position? Right underneath our noses, Progressives in America quietly labored to gain control over an even more powerful set of commanding heights.

People should be asking themselves, what elementary,middle, and high school is teaching Critical Race Theory and why they are spinning false narratives?

It’s not about racism or equality, or even gender. It’s about deconstructing anything and everything that reflects not just the founding principles of America, but the foundations of our families and our faith. It’s about control of thought and behavior. At the same time, we must not condemn someone because we do not approve of their lifestyle choices and the way they dress. Both sides must learn to accept it and get to know the individual instead.

Our education had stolen the minds of our kids, and they knew exactly what they needed to remove in order to make it happen.

As our culture sinks deeper into an identity crisis, suicide rates climb, and families and churches shrink, our very survival requires a better way.

Battle for the American Mind is more than a book; it’s a field guide for remaking schools in the United States. We’ve ceded our kids’minds to the Left for far too long. Pete Hegseth would be good to steer our military as the Department of Defense in the right direction.

Even though, I have read this book, I recently came to different realization on gender confusion. Both sides have to come to an understanding of the individual and not try to force people to be someone they are not. We have to learn to accept people as they are;even if we may not approve of their lifestyle. Don’t try to change someone into someone they are not. It would just cause further damage in their psyche. It doesn’t matter what side of the fence you are on.

Let us love and accept one another without judgement. We are all God’s children and God does not make junk.
