Everyone in the situation sounds more irritated that politics is in the schoolwork rather than an evil teacher oppressing a helpless 11 year old

its hard for me to agree with this because i personally never ever had a problem with any sort of political or religious bias getting involved in my classroom. even my government and economics teacher, someone who talked about politicsa lot had no trouble keeping a balance with politics by bringing out both the positive and negatives with obama, hillary, Annoying Orange, even bill clinton.
saying that i completely agree with what otto said. nothing much more than just teachers being petty and unprofessional. in other words, they should not be teaching in the first place.

Politics in classrooms can be a good thing, but the students need to be old enough to have already formed their own opinions. 11 is too young. 16 is too young a lot of the time. This is why it's fine in college, but not before. Same with religion.
