Engelhardt: How to Deal with Party Politics at School? (1964)

A little rebellion now and then...is a medicine necessary for the sound health of government. The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all.
[Thomas Jefferson]

Might the teacher’s political point of view not have an impact on his pupils concerning the way he is going to deal with current political issues? According to the above discussed caricature [interpreting a political caricature is the previous case Engelhardt discusses, HL], this neither caused any difficulties nor did it have a negative effect in a political sense. Hence, whatever political party the teacher might belong to or favor, it should not have an effect on the way this caricature is interpreted or evaluated.
