Teaching Children US History

For many years I've been aware of David Barton, who works tirelessly to show the historical tradition of faith in the public square. His organization, WallBuilders is "dedicated to presenting America's forgotten history and heroes, with an emphasis on the moral, religious, and constitutional foundation on which America was built — a foundation which, in recent years, has been seriously attacked and undermined."

Barton's goals include (1) educating the nation concerning the Godly foundation of our country; (2) providing information to federal, state, and local officials as they develop public policies which reflect Biblical values; and (3) encouraging Christians to be involved in the civic arena.

Recently we watched a DVD about the founders of our country and the deep faith in God that many of them clearly professed. It was fascinating stuff.
