I assume that the lecturer meant "Writing is a political act".  This
is the most common phrase that results from the following search:

'Results 1 - 30 of about 86 for "writing is a political"'Google
://www.google.com/search?q=%22writing+is+a+political%22&num=30&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&c2coff=1&safe=off&filter=0

Can you ask the lecturer or a fellow classmate what the topic means? 
What is the class about?  What was the most recent lecture about?

If any of these suggestions helps you, I would be happy to post them
as an answer, along with the best links on "writing is a political
act", or whatever the topic turns out to be.

The fundamental premise underlying the theorization of hypertext
presented here is that writing--all modes of writing, not just
hypertext--is gendered, and a secondary assumption is that all writing
is political. Feminist hypertext theorists Donna LeCourt and Luann
Barnes argue that social transformation is best executed by disrupting
the gendered nature of writing. Because these forms of feminist
intervention, or textual politics, rely on deconstructing text and
creating new forms of textual space, they seem ideally suited for the
differently ordered writing of hypertext, which alters reader-writing
relationships and allows for expression of multiple perspectives. (56)
