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.

Yes, it is a teacher's job to get their students interested. If the button says, "X or Y, let's talk" that would be different. Campaigning on the job is not appropriate, nor is it the same as political debate.
I don't think any parent wants to control their child's political views. Parents of teens love to debate with their kids; I've done it with all three of mine.
