Should teachers, who are in positions of authority, espouse their political beliefs in the classroom?

No! Any teacher that uses the classroom to talk about just their political POV should start looking for a different job. That is not teaching.
-
I don't think they should. I also think they should keep their religious views to themselves as well...
-
Not unless that is somehow part of the curriculum for the course.
-
If a teacher is worth their weight, they will be able to make their views known without speaking them outright. But, no, I don't believe it is a good idea in this "politically correct" era for teachers to let students know what they believe.

it's not a teachers job to espouse their political or religious beliefs. now, if it were somehow part of the class, then it might be okay. but even then it'd be a pretty slippery slope for them to be on. it's best for teachers to just teach rather than to put forth their views.
