In general, it's considered unethical to use one's position of authority - whether that is as a teacher, police officer, or soldier - to promote a particular political position. Teachers have the right to do what they will on their own time, but their time in the classroom is *not* their time and thus their politics should be kept private.

No amendment specifically stating what you wrote.
The teachers union, the NEA is already promoting the Democrats and have been for many years. Now you know why your children aren't getting a good education--they are being taught that Heather has two daddies, and garbage like that.
Freedom still reigns in the USA. Teachers can support whoever they want.

They do it, but they shouldn't even in a political science class. They should help foster debate among the students, without interjecting their own personal beliefs. Students should be encouraged to keep an open mind, and Decide for themselves what political party they want to support.

1) Free speech.
However, I think it's rude, especially in a political system, for a teacher to display political favoritism. Just as it is rude for them to favor for family, wealth, etc.
Have a merry CHRISTmas.

Do teachers have the right to speak?
Teachers haven't change you so what is the problem?

teachers have the obligation to have their students keep an open mind, but it's impossible to think that they can keep their strong opinions to themselves.
