Telling Jefferson Lies Season Two Trailer - Charlie Kirk's History Lessons

Season Two is here! The first episode was posted on April 14.&nbsp; Telling Jefferson Lies chronicles how history can be hijacked for ideological and political purposes, as well as a much broader story about the surge of Christian nationalism and the misuse of history which often goes along with it.&nbsp; The series begins with an in-depth consideration of the methods of Christian nationalist story teller David Barton. Then I tell the story of how his book on Jefferson was pulled from publication in 2012 and the response of evangelicals to that rare event. From there, I broaden the scope to examine the varieties of Christian nationalism and the negative consequences of this way of thinking about church and state. The last segment examines the reasons why the separation of church and state is good history, good civics, and good religion.&nbsp; For more information, go to http://www.gettingjeffersonright.com.&nbsp;
