My professor in 2016 was a young guy from Cali. He canceled class when Trump was elected to allow us to cope and handle our fear.

It's been a little while since I've been in school in Louisiana, about 8 years, but I never once ever heard a teacher talk about politics in the classroom.

The closest that I remember was that I had an economics prof who said that economists think that all politicians are stupid in a joke to say that he didn't really favor either side.

I teach my students how to think not what to think. I teach them to challenge everything they hear and see. Which by today’s standards is red pilling them

I never talk politics with students. 1. I am not a political science major, they come to me for computer science and educational technology. 2. I really do not care about politics, I ignore it. 3. Politics sucks 4. It is a good way to get fired if you do not tow the liberal view point at the college level.

because there are younger people on the OT than on the Political board, many are still students? Thought they could tell us what's going on better than people our age

I ask because my kids just moved over from private to public schools.

At our past private school "Most students and their parents were pro Trump, even the teachers"

Public school this year for our kids, and oh boy,the dinner conversations we're having...

"Dad, my teacher started ranting on Trump again today..."

A lot of kids are like "yeah that's right"

our kids are afraid to challenge the one sided conversation...

In short, teachers in North Carolina, particularly, the English teachers are spewing Anti Trump...

Yesterday it was all about immigration

In middle school, they show 10 minutes of CNN, to talk about current events...

Oh yeah, that's great

Honest answer, I had one professor who wouldn't play devil's advocate. Ever.

And that racist frick learned quite quickly that it's a whole lot easier for him to be sensible and do it than for me to act like a klansman and do it.

The biggest self righteous pretentious douche in the entire department.

Eubanks was a raging liberal. But the man was a God damned genius and could be respected.

T wayne is a complete douche.
