When I went to school, I noticed a very clear inverse relationship between a teacher's teaching ability and their penchant for letting their personal opinions be known.
Teachers who use their position as a bully pulpit with which to indoctrinate should be weeded out, and this is just as true for the Ward Churchill/Norman Finklestein type leftists as it is the Hannity clones.
I actually had the opposite experience in high school. One of my favorite classes was American Government, which was taught by a very partisan right winger. However, he challenged us to argue with him, and expected us to be able to defend other positions, and encouraged those of us on the left who showed an interest.
