QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 10, 2006 -> 09:19 AM) I majored in Poli Sci back in undergrad, so I've seen my share of teachers. Many were clearly in one party's camp or the other, but most managed to try to keep off the soap box on partisan standing. I had one great one, though, who taught my Presidency class. He came in the first day wearing a very expensive-looking business suit, tie and all (most Profs wore slacks and a button-down). But, he also had a completely shaved head and wore an earing. He stated the first day of class that he would feel he was successful if by the end of the semester, no one could tell where his allegiances lied. And sure enough, the class as a whole still had no idea by the end. THAT is the mark of an effectice, objective teacher of political science; teach the information, lead discussion and allow for the students to learn and build their own views. As for your teacher, since it's high school and this guy is obviously a moron, you might just want to bite your tongue and make it to the end. The very fact that he would do what he did seems to indicate he isn't going to be terribly reasonable. i was visual arts major so profs' political/religious/etc. views seldom came to the forefront. however i took a polisci class as elective and that was exactly how the prof was. at one moment he spoke of working with clinton in arkansas, the next he spoke of driving a few hours out of state to listen to a republican pres candidate speak at a church because he was "interested in his views." you could tell he leaned more democratic by his stories etc. but it rarely showed in class discussion/peoples' grades/etc. and when it did it never was a hack comment like soxman's teacher made but well thought out arguements and debates with those opposed in the class. he made it a really fun class for all involved...

QUOTE(The Critic @ Jan 6, 2006 -> 11:36 AM) I'd like to take this time to address the many fine Chicagoans, and Chicago-area citizens as well, who take the time and effort to keep themselves in shape. I regretfully take responsibility for skewing the average weight of all Chicagoans, and for that I, and my laughable girth, would like to SINCERELY apologize. My gluttonous intake of all snack foods, greasy fast-food meals and sugary carbonated beverages have caused you, the treadmilling, salad-eating, portion-conscious folks, to be lumped ( no pun about my general shape intended ) into a category which you have worked feverishly to avoid. And for that, I am truly sorry. Now, that said.....are you gonna finish that?
