I gave one example.

I had a philosophy professor who was similar (and good friends with the management professor). As this was earlier in my academic career I kept my head down and my mouth shut in that class and got through okay.

I also had a political science professor whom I thought was a closet conservative. Could he have feared negative repercussions if found out?

I also had a gay RA sophomore year. I asked him during a floor meeting on "intolerance" why he was so intolerant of my [beer drinking] lifestyle. He reported me to building staff and I had to write an essay apologizing. In hindsight, I should have pushed the issue and gone before the student judiciary.

I had an earth sciences professor who was already a convert to the Church of Man-Made Global Warming (ten years ago). To speak heresy in his presence would get you a severe tongue lashing. His arguments (as do most man-made global warming arguments) centered on the idea that scientists had reached consensus on The Truth and not the actual science behind the process. Once again, head down, mouth shut.
