HAVE WE LOST THE REPUBLIC THE FOUNDERS ENVISIONED? In Hijacked, authors Peter H. Calfee and J. Kevin Dolan make a powerful case that America stands at a critical crossroads-facing political dysfunction, educational decay, eroded values, and an alarming loss of civil discourse. Through six foundational pillars-Critical Thinking, Education, Religion and Values, History, Political Systems, and Economic System-they trace how our republic has been quietly undermined from within. This isn't a partisan rant-it's a call to reflection and action. What eternal truths have we abandoned? Why are we no longer taught to think critically? How can we restore integrity, accountability, and common sense? Hijacked offers a bold roadmap for citizens committed to restoring the republic before it's too late.
