Has anyone taken course from this professor?http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2014/11/22/teacher-to-student-if-dont-support-gay-marriage-drop-my-class/?intcmp=latestnews
So use a lying student and a lying news(?) organization to make a point?
Didn't occur during class time so nothing wasted. What happened to open discussions and exchange of ideas?New Liberal philosophy is to negate those who disagree and not debate. Didn't think that was the Jesuit way to denigrate dissenting opinions.
Rough day for marquette. Beat by a division 2 team then this on a national news outlet. Egh...
This will end poorly.
Down 1 w 5 seconds left. Doable.
I didn't think it was the Jesuit way to subjugate a group of people based on their sexuality.
+1I saw this earlier in the week on a philosophy blog. I didn't post because I thought to myself "why make Rocky's job harder than it is?"
China doesn't have this problem and look where they are going.
I'm honestly curious if many of you actually can't see how a conversation about this wouldn't be offensive to a homosexual in the class? I'm not saying that it shouldn't have happen as in college we're supposed to challenge our ideals and debate our positions but it seems like it goes in one ear and out the other that it would possibly be really scaring to an 18yr old kid. race and sexism aren't debated like that anymore out of respect why is homosexuality? Now it would've been a better way to divide the class into two sides on said issue (regardless of actual opinion) and have them do the debate like that because youd manage to get people to challenge their viewpoints while doing proper research into both sides of the issue.
Racism and sexism (??) are not debated anymore in the college classroom?
yes i know it's fox news, but no one else will touch this, i guess. but the point is, and i'm trying to stay A-political here, but, i thought liberal arts specifically and college educations generally are supposed to be an exchange of ideas/debate, etc... this gay-straight thing is getting so old. i really don't think most people really care that much anymore. for a teacher to make it a stipulation for taking the class is really out of bounds. talk about intolerance? i would call for a review of this teacher. we need to see if he?she is qualified for marquette to teach at all. alternative life-styles today are so..."yawn"...we have so many other issues that are way more "life challenging" than this. does this teacher know what year it is? not to mention, this does not play out very well for marquette. i would hope they are clarifying this in some way and/or taking some kind of action as, like it or not, fox is one of the most widely read and watched news servicehttp://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2014/11/22/teacher-to-student-if-dont-support-gay-marriage-drop-my-class/
Here's the story from a different perspective, as linked to by the Fox article:https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2014/11/20/marquette-u-grad-student-shes-being-targeted-after-ending-class-discussion-gayMy $.02:I'm sure both the student and the instructor wish they had handled things differently, and the student says as much in the Fox article. She's a grad student with presumably limited experience handling classroom confrontation. He's a student. With an opportunity to have clear heads and be ready for the conversation, the outcome may have been different. I doubt this was a conversation anticipated by the instructor, so she gets more slack from me. The student gets some as well, but he clearly knew what he was going to do after class and likely expected conflict based on his decision to secretly record it.McAdams, on the other hand, had plenty of time to consider his response. He still published a one-sided post. I recognize the value he provides as a voice of opinions that often run counter to the main narrative on campus, but I think he often misuses his power by presenting incomplete/biased accounts of events. There's room for his values, perspective, and desire to persuade others to coexist with appreciation of the nuance of issues and compassion for those with whom he disagrees, and I think he'd be more effective if he recognized that.
i sure do hope cheryl doesn't think you are being condescending here. where are all the defenders of women here? drew, you are denying that she can defend herself and i'm sure while you were trying to help her out...
Could you quote where Drew said that she can't defend herself. I'm not seeing it.
yes i know it's fox news, but no one else will touch this, i guess.
