The basic form of my question is: Would it be possible to teach courses on theology without views from institutions, teachers, and authors of material leaking in?
I think it would be possible only to an extent. Due to the huge number of educational institutions in the world, it is probably inevitable that not all teachers would be proficient at (or even interested in) keeping their theological views out of their teaching (that is, not giving students the impression that one view is invalid), and some institutions would most likely go their own way and incorporate biased views into their teachings. However, in most cases, it might be possible to have a universal (by state, nation, continent, or even world) curriculum set up, which limited course materials to unbiased sources. It also might be possible to set in place stringent requirements for teaching, so that the teacher-generated bias could be minimal. Also, institutions going against these rules would probably be less common if institutions had to follow the rules in order to receive non-private funding.
