Someone will certainly throw rocks at me now.

Let me be the first........................to comment.<g> I think that the problem with teachers presenting their opinions and beliefs in class boils down to whether they are mentioning their beliefs in a brief two way discussion format or are they promoting their beliefs. They weren't hired to sell their position. There are many ways to encourage individual thought and debate on issues without holding students as unwitting hostages to the teachers opinions and beliefs. It could be said arguably that the difference in age, experience and psychological shrewdness gives the teacher an unfair advantage to influence the student in any direction they choose. Witness the mullahs and Islamic fundamentalism.
