  Case: Active conservationist and support the Green Party
You teach middle school science. You are an active conservationist and support the Green Party. You go through all the approved curriculum materials during the summer break removing lessons that teach processes that you disagree with and substitute lessons from the political material you receive. Were any ethics principles violated?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This situation violated a teacher's obligation to the student, and to the public:

3d: The teacher shall not intentionally suppress or distort subject matter...

4a: Shall take reasonable precautions to distinguish between personal views and those of any educational institution...with which the individual is affiliated.
