It's a school. They should be there to learn, not to debate.
Reminds me of a teacher I knew, who, after being informed by a student of what SHE thought the correct interpretation of a poem was (and the student was indeed correct) subsequently replied:
"Missy, you are not here to THINK, you are here to LEARN."

I'm all about people thinking for themselves, don't get me wrong, but I think it is an issue that has no place in school.
