What was said?

Last week, students walked out of his class after he asked a question using the racial slur. What is worse, a white man punching a black man, or a white man calling a black man a [n-word]? Rosen asked students the question in the class Cultural Freedoms: Hate Speech, Blasphemy, and Pornography. Some students objected to Rosens use of the word, saying that it was offensive and prevented them from learning. They argued with him and then walked out

These are supposed to be top tier college students lmao

so he used it as part of teaching and not as a racial slur? there is a big difference and if it was as an educational vehicle people threatening him are thin skinned bitches (which threatening someone usually indicates that anyway). if it was out of malice he should be fired, if it was part of the course work people are just whiny bitches
---

It always makes me incredibly uncomfortable even when I hear that word in a historical context like in documentary or historical show or movie. Idk how they get away with that

Sounds like both the teacher and the students learned a very valuable lesson regarding free speech.

Feel bad for the teacher
