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

    - spoil me? The only movies I've seen that got the Jesuits completely right, nail on the head, are Blatty's Exorcist movies. - loosilu Feb 18, 07:46 1
      - 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
      - heh -- nm - CQ Feb 18, 07:43
- Yeah, i'm in awe of how this guy can teach a course and not be in a position to debate more than Fascist bastard. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 18, 07:37
