The guests are BACK, listeners!  Mike is a middle school social studies and English Language Arts teacher at a southwest suburban Chicago middle school.  He emphasizes, among many other things, teaching students the full history of the United States and encouraging his students to consider perspectives that have typically not been widely known.  In this episode, he and Pat discuss the nature of "controversy" in social studies education, marginalized groups throughout American history, and much, much more!
