I've never had such luxury here in my very lefty European country except for one teacher. She came from the former GDR and was my German teacher for many years. She never even talked about politics in her classes, unlike all the others. She often talked about history in her classes (since she was a history teacher as well) and always reminded us of how dangerous tyrannical government is, talking about her life in the socialist GDR. And by the way, she was always very supportive of the US which is fairly rare. In a school with dozens of teachers, she was one of a kind.
I wish you the best! Your students are so lucky and will hopefully value your work. If not now, they will understand its true value in the future.
