Ohio School District Offering Summer Course in David Barton's Revisionist History

Warren Throckmorton reports today(link is external) that Ohio’s Springboro School District is planning to offer a summer course on the Constitution…taught via video by revisionist historian David Barton and his Christian Reconstructionist pal John Eidsmoe, and sponsored by the extreme Christian-nation group Institute on the Constitution(link is external).

The announcement for the course offers families an opportunity to “learn your Godly American heritage and birthright”:

As RWW readers know, David Barton is the discredited “historian”(link is external) whose most recent book on the nation’s “Christian heritage” was pulled by its conservative Christian publisher(link is external) because it was riddled with factual errors. John Eidsmoe is a leading Christian Reconstructionist thinker and intellectual mentor of Michele Bachmann(link is external).

Springboro’s school board made national headlines last month when it debated adding creationism to its curriculum(link is external).
