Vocal Point-Stephen McDowell

Topic: The Battle over American History and why it matters.

There is a battle over American history and especially the Christian aspects that can be found in the creation of our nation. I just read an article in the Federalist, where educational authorities in various states, including Alaska, are excluding the requirement of school children to learn about key aspects of American history—George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Christianity. Why does the battle over what is taught in our history matter? Stephen McDowell is the co-founder of the Providence Foundation and a tour guide of key places, generally in the greater Washington, D.C. area, related to our nation’s Christian roots. Stephen McDowell joins Jerry Newcombe to talk about the battle over American history and why it matters. www.providencefoundation.org
