“This prophetic book is a clear and present danger—to conservative complacency. The culturewar is over in most public schools—and our side lost. Mary Rice Hasson’s and Theresa Farnan’sgalvanizing case for a public school exodus should be a game-changer for conservative parents,especially religious believers under the outdated illusion that their kids can be ‘salt and light’ insuch hostile deserts.”Rod Dreher, author of The Benedict Option“I share the authors’ view that there are dedicated and talented teachers andadministrators—many of them former students of mine—serving heroically in our publicschools. But as Farnan and Hasson show, parents send their children to public schools at greatperil. The risk to mind, body, and soul is too high. Don’t just read this book; buy dozens ofcopies for family and friends. If you care about their kids, get them this book.”Paul Kengor, Ph.D., author of Takedown: From Communists to Progressives, How the Left HasSabotaged Family and Marriage and The Politically Incorrect Guide to Communism“Don’t be one of the millions of parents helplessly gobsmacked when their children leave theirfaith or consider irreversible self-mutilation. Not knowing what’s happening may becomfortable, but it endangers your family. So protect your children proactively. Start by readingthis book. It may lead you to better decisions as a parent and citizen about some deeply importantsocial changes that affect you and those you love.”Joy Pullmann, Executive Editor, The Federalist“I have often said that there are only two things wrong with our schools: Everything the childrendon’t learn there, and everything they do. I see now that my diagnosis was far too optimistic. ForMary Rice Hasson and Theresa Farnan show that the schools are far worse than I had supposed.Get your kids of there—now.”Anthony Esolen, Ph.D., professor of English Renaissance and classical literature at the ThomasMore College of Liberal Arts and author of Out of the Ashes: Rebuilding American Culture
