History in the Classroom and the Generations

GenXer Joe Lanning returns to continue the discussion about history and it's relevance in modern times. We talk about why and how history should be taught in the classroom, how historians validate their findings, and whether or not we need to pay attention to new information in terms of history after we leave the classroom. We even discuss the history of history!
