True, but (@ the bold) that happens even with "tame" topics. But this is why I'm still on the fence about this.
This kind of reminds me of a situation that happened at Tarleton State University. The drama department wanted to put on a production depicting Jesus as a homosexual. After receiving threats, the school shut down the production. The event wasn't required by any class and was being held in the evening. My line of thinking is "if you don't want to see it, don't go." I suppose that could be applied to the fucksaw situation, but again, I don't know if it was necessary for the professor to go that far to make his point.
