WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The Department of Defense is introducing a course centered on Western civilization and Christianity this fall in the schools it operates for military families, part of an effort by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to redirect the education system toward patriotic values and classical learning.<\/p>\n

The Department of Defense Education Activity operates about 160 schools across 11 countries and educates roughly 70,000 students who are children of active-duty military or civilian service members. Conservatives have eyed the schools \u2014 which, unlike most public schools, are run by the federal government \u2014 as a testing ground for reshaping education.<\/p>\n

The Western civilization course planned for this fall will use a textbook published by Encounter Books, a conservative publishing house. Titled \u201cThe Golden Thread: A History of the Western Tradition, Volume I: The Ancient World and Christendom,\u201d it includes suggested lesson plans created in partnership with Hillsdale College, a conservative Christian school in Michigan that has also developed influential materials for K-12 schools.<\/p>\n

Historians and educators who reviewed excerpts of the text told The Associated Press it depicts points throughout history in misleading ways, representing Western civilization and Christianity as one and the same and casting Islam as a threat to both.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got to wonder a bit whether Western civilization is a Trojan horse for classical Christian education,\u201d said Phil Gorski, a historical sociology professor at Yale University.<\/p>\n

The course is part of a wider reshaping of the Defense Department\u2019s schools. They have begun hiring classical learning teachers, and the department has brought in new academic chiefs with ties to classical learning charter schools and to Republican-led efforts to promote more patriotic education.<\/p>\n

The Pentagon, which was sent a series of questions about the textbook and the broader push for classical learning, did not respond in time for publication.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Classical education broadly refers to a teaching style built on the liberal arts, with an emphasis on critical thinking and citizenship. Students are taught to imitate the rhetoric and style of great thinkers and writers. While some classical educators have pushed to incorporate diverse scholars, critics have argued the movement focuses too heavily on foundational texts from Greek, Roman and other Western writers and gives short shrift to achievements in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.<\/p>\n

Conservatives see classical learning as an antidote to unflattering depictions of US history<\/h4>\n

Conservative politicians have embraced classical learning, especially as the Trump administration and Republican-led states have pushed schools to emphasize patriotism and put boundaries around how they teach unflattering parts of American history.<\/p>\n

In his writing and public remarks since before becoming defense secretary, Hegseth has advocated for parents to embrace classical Christian education.<\/p>\n

In his 2022 book \u201cBattle for the American Mind,\u201d Hegseth, a former Fox News host, describes a history of progressives working to remove God and religion from public and private schools. For parents, he writes, not sending their children to classical Christian schools would be to admit defeat.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cIt is certainly not sustainable, merely passing the same losing hand to the next generation,\u201d Hegseth writes. \u201cWith this approach, we lose. We lose America \u2014 and Western Civilization.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many classical Christian schools focus on reclaiming Western civilization from external threats. But across the broader field of classical education \u2014 including secular private schools \u2014 the field is increasingly split on this point, said Susan Wise Bauer, the author of a popular classical homeschooling program. She said there is a range of approaches on which texts are worth studying.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhenever you have a system of education where that is the impulse, \u2026 \u2018This is us, and they are them over there,\u2019\u201d she said, \u201cthen the idea of a shared literary heritage becomes a weapon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Textbook casts Western civilization as under threat<\/h4>\n

In the Pentagon\u2019s system, high school students can take the new course, Western Civilization to 1500, to fulfill a world history graduation requirement, according to a news release. The course is offered through the department\u2019s virtual school.<\/p>\n

In the textbook\u2019s introduction, the authors write: \u201cThe dangers presented by the neglect of Western history are not trivial.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen citizens of Western countries are utterly ignorant of history, as most now are, they are left unarmed against the general hostility to their own tradition that has become so destructive a force in contemporary culture,\u201d they write.<\/p>\n

The idea that external forces will displace the dominant culture is a common right-wing political narrative, said Curtis Dozier, a professor of Greek and Roman studies at Vassar College.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s this right-wing idea that when immigrants come to a country, they care more about their own traditions and history and seek to replace the tradition of the place,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The textbook\u2019s authors credit early Christianity with promoting the idea that all people must be treated humanely. It argues that \u201cChristian faith also supported a humane cosmopolitanism.\u201d<\/p>\n

The book describes Islam as inherently more violent than Christianity. In a chapter on the Middle Ages, the text describes Arabs as resentful or bitter toward Christians and Jews.<\/p>\n

In a section titled \u201cHoly War and Martyrdom in Battle,\u201d the book describes wars fought by Christians, such as the Crusades, as intended to defend and protect other Christians. Islam, in contrast, glorifies violence and war, the book says, invoking the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks and 9\/11.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn recent decades, Islam as a religion has, understandably, aroused acute hostility from a great many non-Muslims around the world thanks to the behavior of radical Muslim terrorists. Sometimes referred to as Islamists, their atrocities have been applauded by depressingly large numbers of ordinary Muslims,\u201d the book says.<\/p>\n

Matthew Gabriele, a history and religion professor at Virginia Tech, said the book\u2019s description of the Crusades and the conflicts with the Islamic world strips out important details and context to depict Islam as an aggressive religious tradition and downplays the religious motivations and violence of the Christian church.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s trying to make a contemporary political point by continuously referencing things that happened in the 21st century,\u201d Gabriele said. \u201cThe fact that (the book) does this very selectively and only when it suits a particular political project suggests to me that this is not a scholarly history in any kind of real sense.\u201d<\/p>\n

The book\u2019s publisher, Roger Kimball, said it was peer-reviewed by 15 experts. \u201cAs the proud publisher of this incomparable work, I stand behind it in every detail,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

One of the book\u2019s co-authors, Harvard emeritus professor James Hankins, said the text does not attempt to characterize Christianity and Western civilization as one. Segments of the book acknowledge the West\u2019s cultural debts to the Islamic world, said Hankins, who now teaches at the University of Florida\u2019s Hamilton School for Classical and Civic Education, a conservative-backed project to teach Western civilization.<\/p>\n

An emphasis on the study of Western civilization was standard until the 1970s, Hankins said. He criticized the move away from teaching it, noting that other countries such as China study their own civilization.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbandoning it has been foolish in my view, and is one cause of the growing cultural disorientation of the last couple of generations,\u201d he said in an email. \u201cPeople no longer know where they come from or where they belong in the story of our civilization.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Trump administration aligned the military\u2019s education system with its political vision<\/h4>\n

In speeches and interviews, Hegseth has drawn a line from the country\u2019s founding to Western civilization and early Christianity, a religion he describes as under attack by outside forces. He often argues the U.S. was founded as a Christian nation and troops should embrace God.<\/p>\n

At an event last September recognizing a civics education initiative, Hegseth emphasized the need to teach these values to children early on.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat type of brilliance didn\u2019t come out of thin air,\u201d he said of the Founding Fathers. \u201cIt was first inspired by God (and) inspired by an understanding of human history, an understanding of biblical history (and) an understanding of Western civilization philosophy and theology and civics poured into a generation of men and poured into an American experiment \u2014 it wasn\u2019t an accident.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump\u2019s administration also has moved to align the military\u2019s education apparatus with its broader vision for American schools. Admissions offices at U.S. military academies now accept the Classical Learning Test, a college entrance exam that positions itself as a classical alternative to the SAT. And last year, the ACLU sued the defense school system over its decision to ban hundreds of books that covered topics like race, gender and democracy.<\/p>\n

In March, the department abruptly changed the leadership of Department of Defense Education Activity schools, replacing Beth Schiavino-Narvaez with Paul Craft as director. In a news release at the time, Hegseth described Craft as the right leader to reorient the school system \u201ctoward patriotic values and classical learning.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Pentagon also replaced the education activity\u2019s chief academic officer, hiring Tiffany Hoben, who previously worked in the Florida Department of Education under Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis. In Florida, she oversaw the rollout of a civics curriculum that was criticized for claiming America\u2019s founders did not intend for a full separation of church and state.<\/p>\n

This summer, the department announced the hiring of Matthew Kirby as the system\u2019s Americas regional director. Kirby is the CEO of Liberty Classical Schools, an Atlanta-based network of charter schools.<\/p>\n

In an all-hands meeting after his appointment, Craft described classical learning as a priority that came directly from Hegseth.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has tasked us with taking the best that we can from the lessons learned from classical learning in a private school setting to say, \u2018How do we expose our kids to that in a public school setting like us?\u2019\u201d Craft said.<\/p>\n
