Sounds like another example of a teacher trying to impose through implication and guided discussion their views on politics to their students. I'm currently getting my teacher certification and I will NEVER bring up my views on politics in the classroom in any fashion, In my opinion thats an abuse of power by a teacher.

You should be writing a paper on James Joyce or Chaucer, not the friggin' war in Iraq.

I had an english teacher last semester (she was black) and almost all the essays we had to read were about racial discrimination, environment disasters, and other radical idealist essays. I was so pissed at all the crap I had to read and write about.

One of my classmates actually brought it up to her in private, and she targetted him in front of the class to make him sound like a bigot and a racial bastard. Now that is wrong.

Too many teachers think that their job is to show kids how to think and what to believe because that is what they believe. It is ridiculous.
