History of ideas is a usual structure for philosophy for beginners.
But, what I have noticed is each and every so-called "tutor", like each and every other 'person', just provides their own personal and subjective perspective of what 'the history' 'of ideas' are. Which, obviously, can be in complete opposition. Exactly like what each and every person's own views and perspectives of each and every so-called "philosopher's" own individual and personal subjective ideas, views, and perspectives are, exactly, can be in complete contrast.
Also, what is the actual purpose of learning about the 'history of ideas', if past ideas have never led to any actual real benefit for humanity, humankind, nor for even Life, Itself?
Surely there could be and/or even must be better new/er ideas that would be better to be focused on, instead, right?
Any tutor who uses her job for political motives should be sacked. In theory you are right , but a good tutor will try her hardest to be objective.
1. Firstly, I am not even sure why you were thinking about politics, here, and then introduced the 'politics' word, here. I certainly never used the 'political' word in a y thing of mine that you quoted above, here. So I do not know why you said any thing about 'politics' nor why you said and write, 'in theory I am right'.
2. Why just 'try to be' objective? Why not just be 'objective' always, anyway?

You may be right.
In regards to 'what', exactly?

However we do need to have faith in something don't we?
you do not 'need to', as once upon a time 'you' did not proves, irrefutably, that you do not 'need to'.
However, while you do 'believe' that you do 'need to', then 'you' will keep telling "yourself" that 'you' do 'need to'.
And, for those while they are 'believing' that they do 'need to', or 'must have to', have faith in some thing, then I suggest that 'they' have faith in the True Self, within, alone. For guidance, for tuition, and for the ability to accomplish and achieve whatever 'it' is they seek and/or want.

New ideas are what we today call creativity
While it is through 'creativity', itself, 'new ideas' are formed and obtained, 'new ideas' are just 'new ideas', and, 'creativity' is just 'creativity', itself. Well to me anyway. The two are not the same, and do mean different things.
Although 'creativity' can lead to 'new ideas', 'new ideas' can also lead to the 'drawing out' of 'the creativity' from within others. How this happens and occurs will very soon come to be fully recognised, seen, and understood.

Any tutor worthy of the name 'educator' would encourage creativity.
The best and greatest 'tutors', in Life, in relation to actual 'living', already exist among you. you adult human beings, however, in the days when this is being written, just do not recognise them, nor listen and follow them.
Now, any of you 'current' human beings with the name and/or label 'educator' would be best learning what the word, 'education', once meant.
And, I will again suggest that you do not assume, and/or then believe, what I am talking about, referring to, intending, and/or meaning in absolutely any of what I have just said and wrote, here, in this post, in this thread, or in this whole forum, and instead just seek out clarification, and thus clarity, first, and always.

But always within reason.
And, here is what would say and call is 'the crux of every thing, here'.
Creativity, itself, is boundless, unlimited, and infinite. However, besides the fact that each adult individual has a different perspective of what is 'within reason's, each time a so-called "educator" 'encourages creativity' 'within reason's they have just limited 'another's creativity' to 'fit into', or maybe more correctly to 'squash into', 'that one's' own very 'limited box'. Or, very 'limited and bounded world view'.
