I've been pretty lucky in college, I think. I mean, I'm currently in an Introduction to Religion class taught by a retired ordained minister, and you would expect there to be a real Christian slant on everything but he's very open-minded and stresses that everyone in the class should be, too. It's a wonderful class, really.

On the other hand, I did have a professor who would go on about her political views a lot. She would pepper the lecture with "facts" about George W. Bush, like how he has the lowest IQ of all the presidents in history (he doesn't) and how he's a racist who refused to sell his home to non-whites. Pretty much, if you go to Snopes.com and look up disparaging things about George Bush, she believed all of them absolutely and without question and told them to us like she was giving a lesson from the textbook. She also occasionally went on mini-tirades about how all conservatives are ill-educated Christian bigots.

The class was "Success in Learning". It had nothing to do with politics whatsoever, but I suppose some people think if they stand in front of a bunch of impressionable students they have the right to rant about their personal views.

She was, thankfully, the only professor I've ever had that was like that.
