A wimpy-a** teacher who just dutifully/mindlessly spouts the "standard" useless typical-b**ls**t "knowledge" that merely fills students' heads with falsehoods and pointless information, yet who also always "skirts the issue" or "ducks the question" whenever any skeptical/independent-minded classmate "poses the tough questions" regarding either the validity/truthfulness of the subject-matter ("How can you say that Odysseus was such a great and admirable hero if he shared a bed with other women and couldn't even keep his braggartly mouth shut to the Cyclops when he and his men were making their escape from him?") or the necessity of having to study a certain topics (i.e., "Why do we need to know the history of Ethiopia or learn about the founding of San Francisco? How will that knowledge help us in our future lives or aid us in finding/performing employment?").
Napoleon Blownapart famously grumbled, "History is a set of lies agreed upon." Perhaps he'd had hedgeucators in mind when he said it.
