"Imagine a World without Jews" Hofstra University professor

[Backseat Driver]

30. Was this a Humanities class?

Just a few thoughts: I've had instructors purposely challenge the class with "hard" positions in order to elicit discussions about ethics, morality, religion, and politics - Instead of feeling victimized, did any of the students speak up to challenge the ideas of those the writer found offensive. As for litigation, isn't college a place where one learns about functioning in the adult world and discerning truths, facts, and how to come to terms of one's own beliefs and living with many who don't share that perspective? Perhaps what happened means only a clue that this particular university isn't the place the student will best learn.

For instance, I believe better gun control regulations will help control the epidemic violent use of assault weapons; and "responsible" owners via the 2nd amendment should not have problems with compliance of reasonable regulation outside a specifically named, well-regulated militia. Yet, going to college saw "show and tell" in my Humanities by a student and a discussion of different aspects of ownership and use while that student's Glock was being passed around the room.
