In the ESL environment, do you approve of, generally accept, or disapprove of other ESL teachers loudly showcasing their biases on the newest political issues (int'l, etc).

I've seen this much more than once, and in more than one workplace. There seems to be some foreigners that bring with them a loud voice they can't seem to be bothered about to lower it to a personable level. And they almost always seem to intentionally discuss their takes on the latest news and political incidents in the US or the world. They especially do it with a loud volume, in so much as you not being able to be within 50 feet and not have to hear it.

What do you think about getting political in the ESL or EFL workplace? I've often thought that it's most professional to completely not, or at most, to take it outside and away from the building.

Any opinions on it in particular?
