I don't think the class should focusing on bashing Hitler, Stalin or whoever but presenting some of the worst atrocities in human history as morally neutral or even reasonable alternatives strikes me as peddleing moral relativism. I don't have a problem with a professor having and presenting an opinion. The idea "of course others will have different opinions" could go without saying although the vast majority would not have a different opinion in this case. I don't think that you do have to specifically harp on his evil, but I doubt if someone calls Hitler "an evil man" in the course of teaching a class about WWII or 20th century Germany that he would alienate too many people. I also don't think he would be preventing anyone from forming their own opinions. Tim
