You’re reminding me of the time I was trying to find more source materials for a paper on Abraham Lincoln – this was long before the internet, kiddies, when the encyclopedia was often the best resource in the local library – and because I’d heard that the John Birch Society was all about American politics, I went to them to ask for help. They took one look at me and stated that their publications wouldn’t be appropriate for my paper. Keep in mind, all I said was that I was doing research on President Lincoln. I had no clue why they turned me away, until many years later. Even THEY knew they weren’t a reliable source for a teen’s research paper!
