I agree. I’m not necessarily against (age/maturity appropriate) discussions about politics or ideological ideas in the classroom. But the teacher MUST NOT EVER give any sign of his/her own opinions and must challenge all opinions and ideas equally. Make them think about why they think the way they do and have to support that with facts. That is actual teaching, not just indoctrination.

Those were the teachers and professors we knew, not anymore. Brainwashing has numbed the peaceful pursuit of intellectual thought and consideration,
and stimulated the most basic reaction of pure emotions on the subjects which concern us as a people.
