David Barton has made a name for himself as an evangelical talking head and the author of factually inaccurate “history” books, including one that was recalled by its publisher over its loose relationship with the truth.
Now, if a Periscope from his son Tim of a meeting between Barton and representatives of Gateway Church is to be believed, students will be “treated” to his take on the world.

“I just contracted, about two weeks ago, we’re doing a government textbook, a national government textbook, but it will very much be in this vein. But it will meet all the Texas TEKS standards and all the national standards for any state. It can be used in any state. Except it will have a lot of God in it,” Barton says.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
This is not particularly shocking to hear, coming from a guy who has called not allowing religion to influence the government a “twisted, perverted form of separation of church and state.”
“After we get done with this,” he continued, “our next project is to write a history curriculum. We’ve got these old history books and you cannot read an old history book without seeing God all over the place, because God was just involved.”
Barton is also staunchly antigay, comparing homosexuality to incest and has said he does not believe there will ever be a vaccine for HIV/AIDS because God is punishing gay people.

He was also one of the evangelical leaders at a rally Marco Rubio and Donald Trump attended in Orlando exactly two months after the shooting at Pulse, and was also on the Republican National Convention platform committee. Which, you might recall, was so antigay it even upset the Log Cabin Republicans.

This is going to be a disaster! Why are Americans do stupid? This is why… Religion gets in the way of progressive cultures.

Out of curiosity – Am I the only one who thinks he looks like “Jane Hathaway” from the Beverly Hillbillies?
How long are we going to have to put up with these jackasses braying this nonsense before the human race grows up?
This kind of crap is part of the reason the dark ages lasted so long.

This is going to be a nightmare!
Religion is a crutch for the masses.
Americans are so bleeding ignorant because a high percentage never travel outside their own country and they do not bother to read. They do not comprehend that outside of their communities, a real world exists a world filled with other cultures and ideas. They cannot seem to get a grasp on reality, again religion has a grip upon them. Religion keeps them ignorant and under control.

@WEBOne LOL on the Jane Hathaway! You’re right. But the good news about Miss Jane and her new book is that America has a judicial system that frowns upon excessive god-business in the country’s schools. So you go right ahead and write your little book, dear. Someone is already preparing the legal briefs to haul your ass and that of your publisher into court. Good luck with that.

@Karlis: Yep. You are so correct. I doubt if these books will ever make it into a public classroom.
A ‘history’ book from a religious perspective. Now that sounds as scary as Trump winning the election. :-of

See you in court. I am not a member of your church.

Here is the God filled text book in summary.
God creates Man and the Universe.
Man sins.
God gets pissed and punishes Man via disease, death, and slavery and a swift ticket to Hell.
Wash, rinse and repeat.
And make sure you fill that weekly collection plate, because we all know God needs the money for the babes, booze and that Heavenly Mansion.
