My teacher (it was AP US History for context) pointed us toward Zinn as a complementary textbook to what we were assigned, and if we was asked more pointed questions in class he would respond something like "I have opinions.... on things... come see me outside of class and we can talk more about it" and move on. He was fairly well liked so there was a reasonable chance someone would actually want to come back around to the topic later so keep that in mind.
Anyway, seemed like a reasonable way to handle it, keep it borderline acceptable in class, but be willing to chat outside of class where parents would have less leverage to bitch about whatever you say (though there are still boundaries).
