In this episode, Nathan McAllister, 2010 Kansas and National History Teacher of the Year talks about "Why not"?  When a student has an idea, help them be brilliant even if it wasn't in the plan.  This philosophy led to Nate's students working to successfully enact legislation, to building on the football field, to discovering that Seman school district was named after an active and proud KKK member and fighting to change the name of the school and district.
