BRAVE NEW SCHOOLS



Does academic freedom allow college professors to offend their students with profanity?

The question is coming up in Illinois, as an instructor is under fire for displaying the message "F--- God" to his class.





If this guy gets in trouble, then the Academic Process in America is probably dead and I should tell my kids to go to college abroad.

Tenure should allow for proffessors to bring forth ideas that may fit outside of the mainstream and start discussion and debat. It should not be used as a shield to lash out and attack beliefs that he disagrees with. LeBlanc used his tenure to attack a student's beliefs and the student himself. That is not what tenure is for, and it should not be allowed.

It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness.
This is true both in politics and on the internet."
