Can teachers get in trouble for advocating a political position?
The other day, during i-block, my i-block teacher played a video that advocated the minimum wage to be $15 and ridiculed corporations like McDonalds for setting their wages at like $9, but the argument doesn't matter. This was completely out of the blue while my i-block was doing homework. I don't think that teachers should bring their political agenda into the classroom, but can she really get in trouble for this?

Was that your teacher's opinion or was she trying to make a learning point by showing the video? No, he or she shouldn't be advocating a political position, but what trouble they get in to would be up to the school board.

No. I had a professor that ranted about republicans even though he was teaching a communications course. Teachers/proffs notoriously can't get fired because of unions and tenor.

I have no idea what "I-block" is. Assuming it's an online class, but is it High School or College? Public or Private?
Small detail, but it makes a huge difference.

not if they are part of a union.
if a teacher is union they can't get into trouble as long as they show up, and don't touch anyone

Yes.
They can. It is not likely to be anything more than a reprimand though.
I would have your parents talk to the principal to discuss their/your concerns.
