A computer science class is an inappropriate place for politics.
Perhaps it might be appropriate in a Pol. Sci class.  
Censorship???  Political repression???  No one prevented you from
expressing your political views.  They just said that you couldn't
do it on the universities time, inside a university facility ...
during a time dedicated to the teaching of computer science.
