At the university level, not so much. And it's really ironic because I attended a Christian Liberal Arts college in the reformed tradition...read, very conservative. But I found that if you can put two sentences together in a coherent fashion and shape a logical argument, I could get away with anything I wanted. I aced a paper where I practically called the professor a fool. I suspect I'm an outlier in this data sample, but I daresay it seems the more virulently left-wing a professor is, the less open they are to letting you come up with opposing ideas. The profs i had who were admittedly right-leaning, seemed to be fine with me challenging their ideas. Ironic, yes. hard to believe, yes. But it's been my experience.

Besides the religious aspect, the teachers definitely had their own views that tainted their lessons and how they marked their papers. That being said, it's no different than employers and their personal views, or even dating. The best thing to do is stick with people that are similar to you in views, so there is less conflict. That's why I drink beer with my friends and play Street Fighter Alpha 2 - because I'd hate to spend my time with someone who wants to play NHL '94 on a fucking Sega and damn me for my taste in games.

By the way, if folks on this site wanted to read about shenanigans like this, they'd probably consult someone more qualified. Or someone whose method of research is MSN. lols.
