i think it was a bit inappropriate, but i definitely don't think the teacher should be fired for it

except thats not unbiased the slightest

It's obviously biased. Nor was it unbiased when my teachers told me to 'get right with god' or questioned Obama's citizenship. Did these things somehow impact my education? No, because assuming the teacher was actually teaching the subject, I wasn't a little bitch who had to run to the media because my personal views were being questioned.

We read books like Fahrenheit 451 and 1984 in English. We read about national socialist-ism and learn about the birth of Islam in History. Are you guys seriously telling me these fundamental concepts are a bad thing?

They become a bad thing in school when it hinders learning about the subjects (aka classes that do not pertain them in the slightest) and it being clearly in a biased way is making it worse.

Yea dude, I'm sure this student will never be able to learn what 'humble' means because his teacher was a liberal. Right.

You completely missed the point and jumped to sarcasm to mock me. The hell?

This just in: Only "little bitches" don't want their 11 year old impressionable child to be warped into believing whatever their teacher tells them to believe. You really are a caricature of the modern "le drumpf" liberal.

i don't think politics detracted at all from the lesson here, it was just unprofessional and would have been better left out

Remember when a teacher goes into politics, it should only be appropriate and relate to the specific class at hand, and should be done in a non-biased way

this teacher goes against those by it being inappropriate, not relating to the class, and is clearly biased

Zealot there's a difference between teaching political history and democracy in schools and force-feeding young students your personal political opinions, regardless of what you think this is wrong.

so you're saying this teacher didnt do anything wrong but your christian teachers did? i myself live in a predominately christian community but none of my teachers swayed in 'god greatness' into a lesson. i dont condone it either. your teachers were wrong in doing it and so was this one.

I never said that this was an acceptable way to teach. I defended the teaching of political concepts against those who would prefer to harm our education system and said that any educator of children is going to in-part instill their values in that child. Assuming their personal beliefs don't interfere with the education and rather just look unprofessional (as occurred here) I think it is ridiculous to demand action against these teachers because we'd have to lynch every Southern Christian English teacher in the US.

Yea, that's why I defended Milo Yiannopoulos, the Editor of Breitbart from spurious claims that he was a child enthusiast advocate. When was the last time you defended a liberal politician?

That's not at all what I said and I'm not even remotely sure how you came to that idea--since it's literally the polar opposite of the entire post's point. I said that all teachers have viewpoints that will come out in lessons and that is a fact of life. Assuming they are doing their job of also teaching the subject I believe that hearing opposing viewpoints is an unavoidable part of life.
