One could think of parallels to Barton as History Advisor.

William Shatner as Singing Advisor

Hannibal Lecter as Dinner Party Advisor

Fox as Henhouse Advisor

Enron executives as Financial Integrity Advisors

Al Capone as Bank Security Advisor

Ronald McDonald as Nutrition Advisor

Homer Simpson as Nuclear Safety Advisor

I love the analogies. Spot on. How about RFK, Jr. as HHS secretary. Oops, that’s actually the case.

Texas still high on my list of states I wouldn’t want to live in. Waiting patiently for your new book, Warren!

Warren, this is beyond frightening. Ironically, I was just telling a pastor friend about Barton and your work to expose him last night. It seems like Texas and Florida are the worst places to be if you want to learn accurate history.

This reminds me of what we saw with Woodland Park School District in Colorado. They adopted the National Association of Scholars/ Civics Alliance's American Birthright Social Studies Standards. https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/american-birthright-colorado-woodland-park-school-board-district-adopts-controversial-standards/

The embrace of mendacity and willful ignorance is what fuels the Republican Party; both those in power, and those who vote them in.

Yup, homeschooling 'Christians' use Barton. He is a liar. But the 7 Mountain Mandate is right on schedule.

Whatever. Seems like the guy belongs in government as some kind of "advisor".
