This has been a topic of debate both in the media and here on DU. I have wondered how my wife, a junior college English/critical thinking instructor, has been untouched by this debate the last 2 years. The last time I tried to bring up the topic she instantly shut me down. That changed today.
Yesterday she brought up a simple exercise... "lets have an in class discussion, and lets stereotype men instead of women" (I am told it was even presented sarcastically, which sounds like her nature) she started the exercise by saying "men have yucky facial hair" .... definitely something she would say.
She is in deep shit now with the JC admin over that. One student complained about this exercise in critical thinking and her initial prompt.... fucking seriously? She gives me shit about my facial hair on a daily basis, but when she says that single, un-offensive line to start a dialogue, some special snow flake gets offended to the point where her job is being threatened? JFC.
