NextImg:Author Explains How the Left Took Over America’s Classrooms

Education expert David Goodwin says conservatives have a long way to go in taking classrooms back from the pernicious ideological influence of the Left

Goodwin, co-author of “Battle for the American Mind: Uprooting a Century of Miseducation,” shared his perspectives on the education culture wars with Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts.

“We’re going to have to restart and regenerate” the country’s education system, Goodwin said on “The Kevin Roberts Show” podcast, calling it “a long-term investment.” 

“Progressives started investing in education 80 years before they turned it into a tool of Marxism,” said Goodwin, a founding board member of the Ambrose School, a private, classical Christian institution in Meridian, Idaho. 

“We’ve seen that … very prominently in the public schools today, but it took them a long time to get there,” said Goodwin, who co-authored the book with Fox News host Pete Hegseth. 

“I think we just have to be as serious about long-term transformation, and we need to get kids—particularly kids of like-minded families—out of progressive schools and into classical schools,” he said. 

Watch the full interview on “The Kevin Roberts Show” to hear Goodwin argue for the role of classical education in the conservative movement.
