Related: About this forumFlorida student's 'discomfort' causes cancellation of civil rights class - Alex Wagner - MSNBC
Alex Wagner relays reporting of the cancellation of a U.S. government class at Eastern Florida State College after a student felt "discomfort" over a discussion of civil rights, seen as an indication of the successful terrorizing of the Florida academic system by Ron DeSantis even with his "Stop WOKE Act" yet to be implemented. - Aired on 03/24/2023.

OP
Have the "student" take a Different class. Don't ban books for other normal folk.

That's the thing, if one student doesn't like the class, he's free to drop out

That happened when I was in college, people switched courses. They cancel an entire class because one kid didn't like it? That's insane...

exactly. I dropped out of a few classes in college and they sure didnt cancel the whole class because I dropped it. This is just crazy.

Cancelling the class, they should have just expelled the snowflake.
