If a teacher is an instrument of education and they are teaching worldly ideas, then why not teach a minimum of three ideas rather than a an idea that they claim is academic? logic? Why don't they have to qualify where they found this information, was it another teacher or did the Board of Directors of that college approve that information. And, offer a profile on that board member or who ever is making that decision. As paying students we would want a well rounded education from both liberal and conservative sides so we can make an educated decision.

Good idea. but i think teacher has a limitation of time. may be teachers along with management work together to fill this problem,and of course feedback from students is very useful.

Most teachers do teach both sides and encourage students to research and write argumentative papers based on different opinions and credible evidence. Some times teachers present an idea and ASK or EXPECT you, as a college student to challenge that idea. This is espeically true in liberal arts environments. College is about questioning and becoming an independent learner. If you are going to a small college that limits independent thought, you may want to transfer. There are colleges that are run by private religious orders and yes, they do teach doctrine as truth. You, as an educated adult should have been aware of that before you entered though. If you have professors who are teaching only one side, instead of two or three, ask why.
