What can be learned from the David Barton controversy
John Fea posted a must-read article on Patheos this morning about what can be learned from the debacle over The Jefferson Lies. He brings together many threads and items of relevance to the entire controversy. I hope those who still think criticisms of Barton’s history are only coming from Alinsky-inspired liberals will read this piece.
The truth is out there. The effort to paint us all as academic elitists and liberals is just a way to try to change the subject.
Go read Fea’s post; it is very well done and on target.
