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.
Pointing out factual inaccuracies isn't teaching from a point of view. That is teaching how to think critically about the world.
