I doubt if any teacher takes a political position when discussing current affairs. For change to occur, however, students must be encouraged to think critically and ask questions. Political change is inevitable, the direction of that change will hopefully be determined by an educated citizenry.

You would, of course, expect citizens to become good little consumers, maintain the status quo and follow the leader.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...
