<p>Anyone else get annoyed professors inject their political opinions into class lectures as facts?
Shouldn't a college education be based more on objectivity and either encompassing multiple views, or attempt to remain independent of a professors personal ideas?</p>
<p>Well, at my school we're known for being very liberal, most the students are liberal, and it's just a given that most the professors are too. We're kind of living in a liberal haven, and people generally know that it's that kind of environment before they arrive. But at a school that doesn't have a specific political reputation, I would be irritated by that, whether I agreed or not, because I feel that I should have the right to choose whether I want to live in a certain political environment or live in an unbiased one for college.</p>
<p>The other thing to consider is that nowadays, "political opinions" and "facts" are really mixed up and sometimes hard to separate in a truly unbiased way.</p>
<p>^I have to agree. To me, it'd be no different than having a teacher trying to push their faith on me and trying to present that sort of thing as a fact. I think it should be treated the same way, too. I think it's healthy for the professor to debate the students, but to present things from a skewed perspective is totally different.</p>
