 Sounds like here, you have a secondary school teacher
who has a bit of the old "Joe Goebbels syndrome"
clouding her ability to be accepting of her students'
opinions, which may differ from the teacher's due to
his or her developing awareness or, a student's
genuine perceptiveness to viewpoints and ideas in
literature.  When a dullard who holds a teaching
license (which John Cleese probably puts in the same
category as a "cat" license), arbitrarily intimidates
a high school student; it tragically short circuits
the trust one holds in their instructor, as someone
who will teach by insights and example rather than use
scorn and censure when your opinion does not match
theirs.
