Is U.S. History Being Twisted to Make America Look Evil? David & Tim Barton Respond Sep 09, 2025

Has America been a force for good or for evil? Why are some podcasters suggesting that the U.S. should have sided with Hitler’s Germany over Churchill’s UK and Stalin’s USSR during World War II?

And does the Constitution really prohibit displaying the Ten Commandments in schools and government buildings?

David Barton, founder of WallBuilders, is the author of over 20 books on American history and has served on numerous history advisory boards.
