This book packs a strong left hook punch.

I’m only finished now up to ch. 2 but it certainly delivers.

In ch 1. the big standout is Thomas Morton. If you listened to modern progressives you would think that the Christians back in the day were the eeeeeeeeeeeevil Christians that we have been taught to expect. The modern story goes that they sought out Morton for destruction, banned his books as all snooty and judgy Christians do and harassed innocent old Morton until his final days.

That’s not how Morton actually was though. The guy was a troublemaker and a malcontent.

Ch 2. is also stand out in the detail it gives about what level of education children were expected to learn. Progressives tell us they would never under any circumstances dumb education down.

Yeah, ok.
