Is the LA Times liberal or conservative?

Yes and no. Its editorial page has a tendency to lean liberal (it should be noted that this was not always the case), but its reporting is generally objective. Many conservatives like to insist the Times is liberal because of its opinion columnists, but the majority of newspapers separate their opinion pages from the rest of the newspaper-- for example, the Wall Street Journal's opinion pages are quite conservative and Republican, whereas the rest of the paper tends to be fairly objective business reporting. The same is true for the Times: it has some famous liberal commentators (and some famous conservative commentators too) but its reporting is known for being centrist.

What does being too liberal mean.. my friend said she hated history classes in high school because the history teachers were way too liberal. What did she mean?

The political spectrum is seen as having two ends, left and right. Moderate is usually considered somewhere in the middle. When someone in a democratic society considers another "too liberal", it means they consider that person's views as extremely left of center. In contrast, when referring to someone as "too conservative", it implies someone leans too far to the right of center. In a closed society such as Communist or Socialist, the opposite is true. "Far left" is considered extremely conservative and "far right" as being too liberal.

Were the 1920s considered liberal or conservative?

In short, yes--in other words, the 20's were both liberal and conservative. The 20's were full of conflict between liberals and conservatives over a variety of topics. Though this may be an over-generalization, the center of liberal thought was in urban areas, while rural areas were more conservative. These two competing world views argued over: the changing role of women in society, women's fashion, evolution vs. creationism, free speech vs. fear of communism, alcohol, and even music. Since there were two sides to every issue, it would be hard to characterize the 1920's as either liberal or conservative. However, these issues became important because the status quo was changing--becoming more liberal. So, I suppose one could argue that the 20's were "liberal" with conservatives trying to hold on and maintain the status quo. I suppose one could also argue that the 1920's were conservative due a variety of factors, including presidential politics, the Palmer Raids and the Red Scare, the rise of the KKK, Prohibition, etc.
