Nah, EVERY teacher does that. Every teacher colors their teaching with their own political/moral/philosophical agendas. Its almost impossible to do otherwise when you are teaching something.
I heartily approve of them teaching kids to ask when authority needs to be questioned, and when the rules need to be changed. These are questions far too few adults ever learn to ask.
On the other hand, I would have liked it had they been able to give a far more balanced sociopolitical view on things. Heck, I'm an extremist left-wing liberal and I didn't agree with their stands on some things.
