I think so long as politics are taught in an unbiased way, teachers should be allowed to display some personal interest and opinion in their civic role in society.
hopefully a teacher would be able to represent the truth and facts and encourage students learn and think for themselves.
my experience was, those particular high school teachers who would have thought these subjects were worthless communicators. I'll also admit that during high school, I could give a shit about politics, so it would hardly matter anyway.
I feel like it's a teachers job to get kids interested and thinking, if I had a kid come home wanting to debate me on stuff like politics, hey that's pretty cool, I mean it's better than not coming home and out there smoking his buddies grandparents crushed up pharmaceuticals and stealing cars, ya know ?
it's ok for a young person to have different views than their parents, even though they might not like it.
