Hide Your Children: Exposing the Marxists Behind the Attack on America's Kids

The left has spent decades capturing institutions. Now, Liz Wheeler argues, it has turned its attention to children, and conservatives can no longer afford to look the other way. In Hide Your Children, Wheeler traces the ideological lineage of the assault on American kids back to its Marxist roots, showing that what looks like a collection of disconnected progressive causes is in fact a coordinated effort to dismantle the cultural and moral framework that makes a free society possible. The targets are everywhere and the tactics are consistent: teachers unions and school counselors pushing gender ideology; Planned Parenthood and comprehensive sexuality education programs designed to sexualize children at younger and younger ages; Critical Race Theory and Queer Theory embedded in curriculum; an ongoing war against homeschooling; the CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics weaponized to normalize radical gender medicine; and corporations using ESG frameworks to enforce ideological compliance at scale. Wheeler names each actor, traces each strategy, and makes the case that understanding the enemy's actual ideology, Marxism, not mere liberalism, is the precondition for defeating it. Complacency, she argues, is no longer an option. The assault on children is not a side issue. It is the main event, and it is already well advanced.
