Yuck, why do teachers do that?

I've also fared well in this respect. For example, I'm Wiccan. I've recently converted from a very gray space between atheistis and agnostic. It was a religious choice that I thought about for a long time before deciding to convert. Here's the kicker. My entire school is almost entirely christian/catholic, so I've been getting a lot of crap about it.. This semester I'm taking a world history class and at present we are studying the middle ages. Now the fact of the matter is that during said time period thousands of women who allied themselves with Wicca were burned at the stake but in most classes teachers would convienently leave out that little detail and just carry on with the lecture of how great and amazing the roman catholic church was. My teacher didn't. He told the story from both sides with no prejudices and he didn't glorify the church. He simply told us all the truth, no matter how ugly it was. That's why he's one of my favorite teachers. He doesn't beautify history to favor any group of people, he tells it how it is, and I'm extremely lucky to have such a great teacher.
