Yes, so that's why faculty have to be careful and smart. People will complain over anything so don't give them something to really complain about. This faculty member was stupid for putting his reputation on the line just to teach collegiates about a "fucksaw."

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.

LOL. There are some colleges and universities that would not oppose to such a play and that's based on how supportive the students, alum, and surrounding community would be.
However, if it is sponsored by the drama department then it is part of the university. Even hosting such a play off campus would reflect on the university if it is known that it is Tarleton State University's department that supports the play. A great deal of autonomy is lost when we work for others. We can get away with some things but should not be surprised that we can't get away with everything.
