J.Green – I have been to DC many times and read the documents but that doesn’t have anything to do with factual accuracy.

Read here for more on Aitken’s Bible: http://www.religiontoday.com/news/monumental-documentary-history-accurate.html – That Bible was not produced for schools by Congress. Congress approved the accuracy of it. It was Aitken in his letter to Congress that pitched it as a neat edition of the Holy Scriptures for the use in schools. However, Congress did not say that nor approve it for that purpose.

I don’t know what the Mayflower Compact has to do with getting history right.

If you want to discover primary sources, you should our book, Getting Jefferson Right.

Bible that was approved by Congress and produced for the schools in our country at that time. Was the Bible not used in our country’s schools for a very long time? How many have actually read the Mayflower Compact? Was that not a government civil charter? Christians are no different than ANY person who has convictions. Who isn’t attracted to those platforms that support our convictions, whatever those might be? Most people do not do further research when they find those platforms, liberals and conservatives alike. I have found that many “leftists” leave out just as many facts as you accuse David Barton of doing. Those who put more effort into finding the truth on their own will not be disappointed. Read the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and its many ammendments, then travel to Washington D.C. to see for yourself our many national monuments and engravings.
