However, I am a believer that educators should stick to subject matter when teaching class. Teaching from a particular point of view is more like indoctrination, rather than education.
My wife is a Masters educated teacher. She abandoned classroom teaching, as she was uncomfortable with the political climate of the administration, as well as the attitude of the parents she had to interact with, teaching in the city. Now, she is a Social Worker, dealing with families of many similar children that she used to educate. The difference is that now she feels enabled to actually help those kids, where as a classroom teacher, her hands were tied.
I think people are all about objectivity and "keeping politics out" unless the politics inserted just happen to be their own. It's a futile discussion. I don't give a single shit about the politics of my employer as long as the check clears every other Friday. My interests politically are my own and my employer's are theirs. The relationship is a financial one and that's it.
