Samuel Rutledge (Samuel) commented on Are Political Discussions Off-Limits At Work?
Certainly I agree that teachers shouldn't be trying to convert students to a particular point of view, but I think it's a far cry between disclosing one's own point of view in the context of a discussion about politics, and exerting undue influence. It can actually be helpful to students to be aware of their teachers preferences, as it can help them to identify areas where the teacher is expressing bias in subtle and unintentional ways.]]>
