Academic Freedom pg 151 #1

The opportunity to discuss subjects without restriction may be a freedom, however, it must be restricted so the professor's opinions are not forced upon the students. It is important to maintain an avoidance of religion as the students religions may vary. Academic freedom is the opportunity to express oneself however one chooses in the classroom. Limiting the content expressed is advised, and avoiding controversial subjects would help keep academic freedom in check. I admire professors that encourage the same faith as I do; however, I would not want to pay to take a class of which the professor is of a contrary belief, and expresses it on a regular basis. We live in the land of the free, and it is important to maintain that freedom, but academic freedom may not be the best freedom to encourage learning among a vast group of religious affiliations. Not only is religion a dilemma, but other forms prejudice may be expressed if academic freedom wasn't limited.
