I hatehatehate it when teachers express political views-i always think it's better for teachers to be apolitical in class and let the students express their views freely (especially in history-a great class for doing stuff like that). The teacher shouldn't get into the debate with the students; they should just moderate it and make sure things don't get too rowdy and maybe play devils advocate for both sides a little bit.

I'm sorry about the wingnut history teacher though. My conservative uncle used to be a history teacher (though he taught like the civil war and stuff) but i don't think he tried to pass his personal views as his own in class...
