Pete Hegseth's call for educational insurgency sparks online debate

Pete Hegseth, nominated by President-elect Donald Trump as defense secretary, has sparked controversy with comments about creating an "educational insurgency" through Christian schools. He discussed this on a podcast, emphasizing a need to counter progressive ideas in education. Hegseth described the initiative as a tactical retreat to regroup and prepare for future actions, using military metaphors. His remarks gained significant attention online, with a clip reaching 1.3 million views. He is also facing scrutiny over a past sexual assault allegation, which he denies, claiming the encounter was consensual. Hegseth's views on Christianity's role in government have raised concerns since his nomination.
