Question: Wikipedia of Conservapedia?

Andy Schlafly was appalled. He was teaching a history class to home-schooled teens and one student had turned in an assignment that dated events as "BCE" -- before the common era -- rather than "B.C.," before Christ. "Where did that come from?" he asked. Her answer: "Wikipedia." Schlafly knew he had to act. In his mind, the popular online encyclopedia -- written and edited by self-appointed experts worldwide -- was riddled with liberal bias. Dating events without referring to the New Testament was only one example. How about Wikipedia's entry on golfer Zach Johnson, winner of the 2007 Masters? Nothing about how Johnson gave credit for his victory to Jesus Christ. Thus was born Conservapedia.com, touted as "a conservative encyclopedia you can trust."
