Comment on I Taught a Short Story. My College Fired Me for It

Comments

Forgive me for whining, but this is exactly the sort of situation that makes me lament that "I hate this timeline we're living in."

I'm a liberal, but I think some pragmatism is called for here, the story was pretty smutty, and it was a bad call for this instructor to include it in her curriculum. Lets keep the degeneracy in our private lives, not everyone aspires to be the whore of babylon haha

downvotes are fine on this comment, I still believe that we need to be instinctually desireable of consensus instead of making everything a culture war using offense as a weapon of some sort. I'm all for free speech but I remember a comment about sometimes you need to get "the pig out of the parlor" lol
