Abstract
The emphasis of various fiscal policy models in macroeconomics seems to ebb and flow with current politics. How does an instructor of macroeconomic principles use current events in a partisan political climate to teach fiscal policy while remaining apolitical themselves? The purpose of this research is to present the obstacles facing instructors of macroeconomic principles who may wish to remain nonpartisan in their teaching. Knowledge of these obstacles will allow the instructor to reflect on whether their own teaching of macroeconomics is politically biased. My approach is to present thoughts of prominent economists on this issue, potential text and media bias, studies regarding political affiliations and ideologies of macroeconomists and their students, and to suggest guidelines for how instructors might assess their own bias.
