My opinion? It's all education. None of that was time wasted, especially in this specific circumstance with this specific teacher. He obviously has a breadth of knowledge regarding US policies that most students will never have this kind of direct access to again. I'd be very pleased if my kids wasted a class period or two learning from someone like that.

I guess it could be argued that he is pushing a political agenda, but it could also be argued that he's merely presenting facts that the students haven't had the opportunity to hear before. Should he not say true things just because they're potentially controversial to some of the students and/or their parents?

I think we should give teachers a little more credit, there job is like any, if it's always the same old same old then it becomes mundane and boring. Step out of the box, I always liked teachers in High School who did that, it builds a relationship with them and you see them as human and at the sametime they are seeing the student as an equal. They still maintain their authority and respect. We need to trust them.

It's like if you don't want your children to have outside influences, then home school them.
