You did when you started to defend her and what she did

This isn't "every english teacher in the US" problem. It's the specific teachers themselves. It's every teacher who isn't teaching correctly or inappropriately.

Maybe we should uh

Keep the politics in a class about politics

otto-san:
i've had a few teachers that spoke their contentious political opinions quite freely, and it sometimes made me uncomfortable, and it's certainly not professional, but it never made any of their lessons objectively worse or made them a worse teacher. it was just inappropriate, and that's it. accusing a teacher of not doing their job properly because they stepped over the line of appropriate topics once or twice is definitely not fair. most of my family consists of educators, and they would probably all agree that this teacher was being grossly unprofessional (actually i've already seen this on facebook because of that), but i don't think they would say much more than that
McZealot:
I'm not gonna bother to keep responding to INH because it's like arguing with a brick wall covered in political graffiti. He just kinda ignores what you say and throws more of his own stuff at you.

My point here is the same as Otto's--this happens everywhere and isn't a big deal. Don't bitch and moan like you're some precious oppressed group because your teacher had a political opinion. It's an unavoidable part of life.
