I do look at the situation past, present and future from all perspectives although I feel the situation as an Israeli. Throughout this year I have had issue with this teacher almost ignoring me throughout class when asking questions he will briefly explain something and in some instances i will need more of an explanation, however now we are studying the Israel- Arab conflict and the history of it which he will ask ME questions etc. which I will gladfully answer from either perspective even though this teacher has said numerous things about Israel that I do not appreciate being said as some of it is not even factual. I still keep calm and finish all my papers, presentations, and exams however when a teacher being speaking about a student to another class saying how I am very biased towards Israel when I clearly have not been or I would have failed the course for sure, then I am told I have to change my views for this course etc. I feel this teacher has stepped on my rights, firstly because I have the utmost pride in my country, secondly because my family gave up so much I lost a cousin an uncle, my father was wounded and numerous other issues that I OBVIOUSLY WILL LOOK AT IT FROM AN ISRAELI PERSPECTIVE however he is telling me I cannot I really feel legal action has to be taken if he does not keep insisting on this is that too far, as I have asked him to stop because I view the whole situation as unbiased as possible.
Try talking to the teacher. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Personally when I took Human Sexuality I had a teacher who pushed his homophobic views on the class with regards to Homosexuality. I simply raised my hand. Told him his religion belonged nowhere in our discussion and his views we're idiotic and groundless at best. I reminded him I would be more than happy to discuss his religion's shortcomings. He declined apologized and went on. I got an "A". It's school. Don't be afraid to step on their toes a bit, their humans just like you.
