        I'm not sure this is fair, since as far as I can tell, he hasn't actually weighed in on the merits of this specific case. -- nm - Reagen Feb 18, 08:02 1
        
        and, he actually said he disagrees with the teacher, but that legally it's just not black and white. -- nm - Andie Feb 18, 08:03

    - [deleted] 1
      - you're there voluntarily. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 07:47
- the foundation of academia is the freedom of ideas. If you can't deal, you shouldn't go to college. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 07:35 17
  - agreed. the professor violated the basic ideas of academia by shutting down the student's speech... - Mel Profit Feb 18, 07:36 16
    - Or better yet...before the speech was given, the professor could have added the disclaimer... - Jim Feb 18, 07:43 5
      - Or just required that speech topics be submitted for approval before the speeches are written. -- nm - Ender Feb 18, 07:49 3
        
        I agree, but only for purposes of quality, not offensiveness. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 07:53
        
        Actually...that's the best way to handle it. That way the teacher and student can hash it out BEFORE the kid put - Jim Feb 18, 07:50 1
        
        If this teach's actions are actuality; I'd hate this idea more than just getting boned on the day of the presentation - Will Hunting Feb 18, 07:56
      - that should be understood for 100% of the speeches given. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 07:43
    - This was one of the best things about the Jesuits. They have zero fear of disagreement and debate. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 07:37 8
      - *twitch* - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 18, 07:44 2

        mostly timeline issues (spoilers) - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 18, 07:50
      - the 17th century disagrees. :) -- nm - CQ Feb 18, 07:40 4
        
        historically they're all about academic freedom and have gotten in trouble many times. - loosilu Feb 18, 07:41 3
        
        but did you know they were behind to assassination of JFK? -- (link) - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 18, 07:45 1
        
        that might be the only time the Vatican convinced them to do anything. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 07:46
