Every election year brings with it an abundance of falsities and campaign ads which, well, skew the views of the opposition to the extreme. This one has to take the cake, however:
Councilman Seth Morgan of Ohio’s 36th District homeschools his children!

I’m just curious. Do you teach Columbus as the evil conqueror who brought disease, death and cultural annihilation to the New World? Or as the hero and great explorer who discovered the New World and brought civilization to it? Or something in between?
We studied Columbus a few years ago using predominantly his own journal which [...]
