So helpful
If you are struggling to raise conservative patriots in a public school district, this book is for you. Real life examples of hurdles you and your kids will encounter and how to empower your kids to fulfill classroom requirements without having to compromise their beliefs. I borrowed from a friend and ended up buying my own copy. This book covers lower elementary all the way through high school.

Inspiring a movement to return to parenting our children
Stacy and Katy wrote an excellent piece (complete with intermittent bursts of comedic relief!) supporting a return to parental stewardship, and reclaiming parental responsibilities, with practical wisdom and equipping in the “how to’s.” This is a must read for any parent wondering where to begin (and how to begin) cultivating a healthy relationship with their own children and steps to prepare those children to face and rise above the harsh realities of living in a fallen world. Whatever political affiliation and political word associations to which we attach ourselves, there is a grim reality of evil in this world and and it is aggressively determined to captivate our children. Parents need to get off the defensive couch and move into the offensive position. This book offers the tools to move into offense. Everyone needs to get this book!

Must read for conservative parents
This book was encouraging to parents that will be sending their kids to public school. Many conservatives shame those who send kids to public school and this does not - it helps the parent know exactly what to say at what age to teach kids to think logically. I’ll be buying this for friends. It’s excellent!! My only downfall is that I feel they don’t give a better definition of “woke.”

Super helpful!
I live in Seattle too and holy moly this book speaks right to me! It is a must buy for all parents, especially the woke who need to wake up and see the harm they are doing to our children and our culture.

Good practical tips, snarky tone
I have incredibly mixed feelings about this book.The bad first:1. While I do think many conservative principles are connected with my Christian faith, my primary concern isn't that my kids end up conservative, but following Jesus. I don't want my kids' primary identity to be "conservative," but "disciple." Similarly, there is a spectrum under "conservative," and so I also don't often call myself conservative because I want to distance myself, in both belief and tone, from many of the most known and vocal conservatives today.2. They never clearly define "woke."3. The attitude throughout is super snarky and sarcastic. Endnotes are not for research, except in a few cases, but for snark and sarcasm, for "witty" comments that mostly had me cringing. If it's not an academic book, don't put end/footnotes. If it is, use the notes properly. Don't make a fool of yourself trying to be clever or be condescending to your readers by assuming they want snark or can only engage on that level. There is borderline language a couple of times, too. While I think the principles can apply to child-rearing generally (see the good, below), I wouldn't recommend anyone who isn't conservative read this book because of the tone - what kind of witness is that? I as a conservative would've put it down were I not reading it for book club. Zero stars here.4. Although they do talk some about liberal teachers who have truly cared for their children and still taught well, mostly their comment is that woke teachers are just parroting robots with no critical thinking skills and low GPA who only care about agendas.The good:1. They do define conservative clearly. And by their official definition of conservatism, I am a conservative, even though I may deviate from the authors in many areas and have many concerns with the loudest conservatives these days.2. Their actual points for how to pass your convictions onto your kids are excellent (and can and should be applied for way more than just passing on political theory). They were also very practical and with good examples. Four stars here.In conclusion, I am walking away with lots of good practical application and parenting encouragement. But there was a lot to sort through and spit out, mostly in tone.

Practical Advice for Parents Looking to Protect their Children From the Marxist Groomer Weirdos
This book really outlines a lot of really solid and practical advice on how to protect children from the demented marxists who make up a large part of educators these days. A must read for any intelligent parent looking to teach critical thinking and a realistic world view.

Great cheatsheet for prepping kids for life
A ton of common sense, all centered around making sure you are there for your kids and that you don't outsource their education entirely to the school system
