I try to make it very clear in my classes that nature, math, and all of science doesn't give two shits how you feel about anything, it comes down to the binary choice of does it work or not.

Awesome.

I teach in the humanities. I tell my students when they choose something to write about - I am not interested in their opinion and that they must cite sources from both sides and be prepared to discuss merits from both sides without inserting their opinion.

To this day, one of the best presentations I have ever had in a class was by a stoner discussing marijuana legalization.
