Mike Huckabee has created a new cartoon series that is supposedly supposed to teach American history to teenagers in a 'fun' way.
Mike Huckabee wrote:
Sure, kids learn about history in school, but between their "boring" textbooks and lectures, kids today are simply not excited by the incredible stories and lessons of our past. What's worse, some teachers and education boards are using history and social studies classes as their soap box to promote their own political opinions and biases! And to me, that's simply unacceptable.
subtext: It's totally unacceptable to teach anything but MY political biases!
He has created two cartoons, one about Reagan, and the other about WWII. The later does not mention FDR. At all. Have a look at this.
When I first saw it, I thought this had to be a joke, especially with the mugger being a black man wearing a shirt that says 'disco.' But no. This is Huckabee. and here's another:
Remember kids! Germans are PURE EVIL!!

That may be the most terrifying Reagan I have ever seen...

A total non-starter Republican presidential hopeful. Governor of Arkansas. Looks a little like Richard Nixon.

Now, I knew Huckabee was crazy before with wanting to replace the Constitution with the Ten Commandments (Separation of Church and State, motherfucka!) but these videos?
Where do I start?
The animation is just bad. The cel-shaded CG is primitive, like the 3D Voltron back in the day. I'd understand if it was meant to be historically accurate, but from those few snippets I can tell Huckabee is a biased, if not racist, moron.
The characters are bland, being nothing more than representations of a minority's demographic, not to mention uninteresting.
This whole thing is done poorly and Huckabee is still a moron.

He's no longer the governor, since about the time he ran for president. And when the press in the rest of the US still thought he was just ~darling~, the AR Times was facepalming. He's one of the big proponents of Covenant Marriage. IIRC, his wife is also in some sort of batshit conservative movement. It might have been the Prairie Muffin movement. I can't now find any info about it. Likely once he started needing to court beyond the batshit crowd, she quietly left the movement, or it was a rumor to further discredit him through her.
He also thinks that gay rights shouldn't be civil rights because nobody has gotten hosed down. Apparently all the "beat the faggot" violence doesn't count.

I know you talked about it and I think you got into it a little bit early on. But when we’re talking about a redefinition of an institution, that’s different than individual civil rights. We’re never going to convince each other...But here is the difference. Bull Connor was hosing people down in the streets of Alabama. John Lewis got his skull cracked on the Selma bridge."

...He does know that the first military conflict in World War Two was the invasion of Poland in 1939, right? He does know that the Allgemeine-SS (aka the men with the famous black uniforms) were the political branch of the SS and in conflict you would see the Waffen-SS, right? Or the Wehrmacht. This is coming straight of the top of my head, too.
Oh, and he -had- to use an African-American as the moralless criminal.

That mugger looks more latino to me than black. Still racist either way.

So did the presumably supposed to be Jewish person the kids rescued from Nazi Germany. I wonder if he used the same character model.

I called their office to let them know of the historical inaccuraces in the World War Two video. The lady who answered the phone was very pleasent but I doubt my complaints ever made it to anyone of importance. I also doubt she could spell all the German words I was adding but...I called them.
