We don’t know whether former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee is running for president, but he is getting into education. Huckabee wants to help America’s school children connect with our storied past so he’s co-founded an education company called “Learn Our History” which produces and sells cartoon history videos for kids.

In the site’s “About Us” section, Huckabee and his co-founder Brad Saft write that they want to make history fun and engaging for kids.

But, unfortunately, the only way kids are experiencing history today is by having it force-fed to them through dry text books, monotonous lectures and boring lessons. On top of that, our children’s classes and learning materials are often filled with misrepresentations, including historical inaccuracies, personal biases and political correctness.
