And Another Thing!!!

Why is it that people qualify a statement with "I'm not defending what he/she said, but he/she has a right to their opinion." In a graduate level classroom???? What this student said was not just an opinion...it was unfounded and racist. and as the professor, a professor of color, he crossed the line in insulting me and the other students in the classroom! That kind of "Speech" is an act of racism and it will never be tolerated in my classroom!

White Privilege

Why is it when Whites make derogatory,stereotypical, insulting dehumanizing statements about different groups of people they hide behind the first amendment?? Such cowards!!
So much for accountability and any kind of transparency....
