E35: Why We Teach History the Way We Do: Religion and Politics (What Not to Say At Parties)

Decay of Discourse

On this episode, I try to figure out how we teach history and what pieces get left out. I also look into topics you shouldn't mention at your next dinner party. I hope this episode challenges you to disagree with my guest Mark Elsico or I and formulate a response, critique, or defense of our positions because that is learning in one of its purest forms.
