In response to Re: Avoid cultural pitfalls when teaching abroad (Khan)
If your students ask you if you have ever heard of Mao, you don't have to pretend you haven't heard of him or give a sarcastic response. Everybody knows Mao. I agree that you shouldn't put politics or religion into your lessons because you are there to teach them English. They are not so sensitive that you can't acknowledge their history.
