Does this mean that the teacher empowered you to make your own decisions, even as he made no attempt to disguise his own.
My most instructive college courses were with guys *just like that.* Every teacher has biases; good for them for being upfront about them. It makes it so much easier to refute them! ]
The fact that they are teaching *facts,* like the way the Executive Branch works, means that they are really *teaching,* instead of preaching. It’s even better when they give you the tools and tell you, ‘Go see what you can dig up out of history, then come back and be prepared to defend your approach!”
That led to long, happy hours in the archi9ves, reading about the Sherman Anti-Trust Act in long-out-of-print newspapers.
He made no attempt to hide his bias, but I think the empowering part was he taught us a lot of truisms. Perhaps it was the first course I remember being taught in an adult manner.
I still remember one question he had - “How long is a treaty good for?” We went around the room for a long time on that one. Finally he told the the answer - “Until someone breaks it!”
