Essays / Are the use of questions acceptable in essays? [6]

I have always used questions in my introductory paragraphs to get readers thinking. I also find them helpful in setting up my thesis and in showing readers what I am trying to prove. For example: "Racial equality is worth fighting for, but how can anyone seek to do so by using submitting?" I would then go on answering my own question by using my thesis statement.

Summer has started and I forgot to ask my english professor about this issue, however I have asked classmates and friends about the use of these kinds of questions. The general consensus was that it was not acceptable, that it demonstrated lack of understanding and I should be more direct and present the evidence up front. I don't find this true at all nor do their arguements make sense, but if it really is not acceptable, then I guess I'd have to look for a new way to structure my intro paragraphs.
