Being a student in your class and observing the way you teach, alone shows that you care about our freedom. Allowing us to think for ourselves instead of degrading our voices by having us use "credible sources" gives me the upmost respect for you as a professor & human being. It shows that you see us as students with a perspective that needs to be seen and understood rather than students that are supposed to meet made up standards in a time frame in order to be seen as good enough to pass the class. You respect our individuality by allowing our voices to be heard and allowing us to free our minds. Listening to individuals perspectives i think helps contribute to the big picture because it allows us to understand one another rather than us living with guards up because we are "misunderstood". I think it will also make us more responsible and treat each other with integrity rather than a person thats in support of one side of a coin. And as the saying goes "its your mouth that gets you in trouble" that will eventually get those with a voice in trouble if we stop allowing ourselves,students or people in general anywhere in life to express their voice and freedom.
