À propos de cet audio

Welcome to 4th Period U.S. History — or, as it’s more lovingly referred to, 4Push.
This class explores the histories and experiences of the United States from what should be its rightful origins in 1676, all the way to the moment when men finally got off their collective asses and gave women their due rights—and the vote. We’ll be exploring what I consider the single driving line throughout U.S. history: Can we dominate anyone who isn’t white and male?
This course will focus heavily on slavery and how it forms the very foundation of this country. We’ll examine the origins of U.S. government, how it’s supposed to work, and where the real power lies within its three branches. We’ll also cover gender, race, ethnicity, and religion—and yes, probably tear apart the idea that Americans are always amazing, heroic, and all-knowing. This class will shine light on the darker corners of our nation’s past and, hopefully, expose you to more than you ever realized. American history is vast and deeper than a few white dudes writing some bold-as-hell statements on parchment and sailing them back to England with a metaphorical middle finger. This isn’t your older relative’s history class that focused on memorizing dates and names. This class aims to give you an unbiased look at U.S. history—the facts, as best as they can be represented, given what we know. This course will challenge you and make you think twice about what it means to be a citizen. I hope that realization brings growth—and maybe even a deeper connection to your fellow neighbors. Don’t be afraid of our past, even if you know there are some skeletons in those closets. We all have an experience and a history in this country. We all have a voice in this country. And you all have a welcome, waiting seat in this class. I hope you join us.

    It’s been checks notes… three years since the last episode. Holy Shit. But like a bad penny or a 90s R&B remix, I’m back—and what a time to come back. The world’s on fire (literally and figuratively). Bombs are flying, people are crying, politicians are lying, and somewhere, Texaco is still probably spilling. As Big Gay Al once said: “The whole world’s gone to hell—but how are you? Super! Thanks for asking!” So yeah—welcome back to $th Period U.S. History or affectionately called 4Push, with Mr. Stepp, where we dive headfirst into America’s chaos, contradictions, and questionable decisions (which, let’s be honest, is basically every chapter). This season, we’re not sugarcoating. History doesn’t owe us comfort—it owes us truth. And while that truth can suck, it’s also where growth happens. If you’re ready to laugh, groan, and occasionally mutter, “Oh God, we really did that?”—you’re in the right place. Class is back in session. Buckle up, sharpen your pencils, and let’s get historically uncomfortable together. In the immortal words of NAS. "Welcome back, welcome back, WELCOME BACK!
