HBO Poll: Instructors Pushing Politics

Over the weekend, I published a column by North Idaho College student Connor DeVries/Sentinel, who was miffed that too many of his instructors used class time to discuss their personal politics. Quoth Connor: ” I used to think that art classes and political science classes were two distinct things. This semester showed me the error in my thinking. So many instructors spend their lecture time expounding their personal political philosophies that I’m beginning to think that a designated political science class just isn’t necessary” Full column here .
