Not just the teachers weren't crazy like this, teachers just did their job. No politics of any kind except in government class, which was neutral. I didn't know a single teacher that made it clear whether they voted R or D or what their personal issues were.

There wasn't technology back then that kept politics on your mind at school. No phones, no television. Much of today's problem is the constant reminders intruding into the schools - like why Muslims have to pray five times a day, so they can never put it out of their mind and think for themselves.
