your heart is empty and you're so cold
So today my political science class discussed the redevelopment of the theocracy in Iran in the late 70s, and things that changed between the reigns of Shah I/II and the government that took its place when Shah II was ousted. It was... really awkward-not because of the content itself, but because my teacher got really weird about talking about

Iran is definitely not what it used to be. Life there is not only muuuuuuuuch harder for the women, but for the men as well. I honestly could write an entire book about the changes and how women have to have a NOTE from their husband if they want to leave the country (even if they abuse her and she's on the brink of death if she goes home).
But I understand that LMU is a religious school, but shouldn't there be a point especially when bringing political concepts and in a political science class that religion is sort of left at the door? Especially when you're talking about Iran. Because Islam and Christianity might have some similarities but for the most part they are very different.
IDK and that last comment about pop-tarts and tang was really unnecessary. Does she know that in Hawaii Spam is considered a main source of food? It's not a poor people thing. Nor pop-tarts. Why is it? Because we couldn't afford toaster-strudel? Or whatever? No, it was because pop-tarts were yummier. Just because you're a teacher doesn't give you a right to generalize in a negative way. ://

I obviously have no issue with her having religious viewpoints, I just feel like... they should, like you said, be left at the door. Especially in a political science class, and especially when you're a teacher-since who knows who you might make uncomfortable?
