hmmm..I almost WAS a history teacher, and may become one again.

My favorite history prof was one in graduate school who taught the 
course about reformers, kooks, radicals, etc. in the early 1840s, and 
then there was the history professor who taught the anarchy course in 
undergraduate, and the classics professor who taught the one about 
goddesses, whores, wives and slaves: women in classical antiquity. 
I've also taken a course about British naval heroes and their 
fictional counterparts -- Lord Nelson and Horatio Hornblower.......or 
the one about resistance fighters which covered Frances Marion, WWII 
resistance fighters, Mao, and Ho Chi Minh.....Did you know that 
Margaret Sanger was pro-eugenics? That if history were portrayed 
correctly that African American soldiers would have been in the 
movies Platoon and Patton? That mistletoe, holly, ivy, caroling, were 
and are pagan artifacts first? I just love history
