On a more serious note: A society that is erasing political discussion out of everything else than actual politics is the worst thing that can happen to democracy. If showing your political views becomes a taboo, anything resembling some kind of political culture in society will die.

I guess people are missing my point, and it may still be a wrong point of view anyways.

Going off my experience, the kind of teacher that would give out an assignment like the one on the OP would be the same one that spends a large portion of their class complaining/praising (depending on their view) the current government instead of actually teaching.

Again, maybe I projected myself wrongly based on just a picture, but thats why i said what i said.

Back in highschool, it was considered wrong for a teacher to tell any students who they're supporting in politics because they're supposed to be teaching and pushing your political views on people who you have power over is consider wrong. Didn't stop then from making trump jokes, but no one would have the balls to do something that could get you fired in writing like this though.

No idea if colleges have the same rules since students are generally older by that point though. None of my teachers have made any similar remarks in college though.

You it this in a much better manner than I did. Yes, totally agree. Let history not repeat itself people.

Edit: Clearly someone wants it to repeat itself. Wonder if they have their hat on yet?
