I think my school has "do not discuss policy" in place in regards to current politics. I've had a few classes over the last couple years including this one. All my professors have shied away from discussing things that are current. A few have come close to discussing it because they are very liberal but have caught themselves and moved onto another topic.

I think its because my school is a private school and not a public university. We do have a diversity office or whatever its called, and the lady that runs it sits alone in her office most of the time. Probably bored out of her mind.
