I was very outpoken in my classes throughout college and it was always well received or at least tolerated from what I could tell. I've been lucky and had really good professors at 2 different universities.

In all the years, there was only 1 professor who I didn't get along with, and he was well known worldwide so I didn't feel comfortable speaking up about it to anyone.

In my experience, they often show their political bent. It's better they show it than hide it so that students know the bias. If they didn't outright state it, rest assured it would still be there as we ALL have bias.

I wouldn't complain but would raise important questions to counter their points. It would make the class more useful and interesting if you debated. Why not challenge them? If they are open minded, they'd welcome the debate or tolerate it imo. And to be honest, if they are any good, they would like the challenging.

But one of the reasons I was very outspoken was because I had a good amount of personal and work experience before college (not that you don't) and so had much to contribute about the course topics.

Well too late, i just read your last reply. It sounds like you are letting your emotions drive you instead of intellect. Well we all do that but I think its best to keep it out of education realm and the workplace when at all possible.
