Her academic interests include ecofeminist theologies, disability theologies, religious understandings of self and memoir, religious themes in literature and film, and interfaith dialogues.
These professors are the gatekeepers....they are guarding the doors and windows.
As tempting as it is to take them on, you keep your mouth shut, your head down, and take their diploma and live to fight another day.
What’s anybody going to do about it?
There are only two sexes. There can be as many "genders" as nutty professor wants.
What a sick chick. The mentally ill people have been removed from the sanitarium and became professors.
Unbelievable
This is when I wish I was an attorney. I’d take this student’s case for free.
Your classes are a safe space for anyone who agrees with you don’t you mean professor.
For anyone who is willing to challenge your view of reality it is not so safe is it.
And your need to operate in the third person in order to navigate the real world is to me symptomatic of a fragile and unhealthy mind. Certainly you are not someone that should be teaching.
I also find it inappropriate that someone so antithetic to religion should be teaching religious studies.
These ivory tower types believe what ever they think is correct no matter the truth. Also they feel sexually abusing children is just one more week of the job.
Marxist college professors, and that probably includes all of them because they cannot hold down a real job, should be the last to be fed, along with the welfare crowd, when we run out of food
Actually there are three genders but only two sexes.
I hope that one day, perhaps even in the coming New Year, I will have the courage and strength to walk squarely into a poisonous cloud of shame, to risk being vulnerable,
One can only hope that the professor will be engaged by someone capable of unpacking this. (It would probably be unrealistic to expect undergraduates, especially those dependent on her for a grade, to punch their way through the paper bag.) Shame is an emotion that is self-inflicted. It is in that respect akin to envy and resentment and, like resentment, is rooted in embarrassment about one's own behavior. The strategy recommended against shame by all morally competent teachers, notably all the major religious traditions and all good parents, is prophylactic: don't act in ways that are shameful, and you will never need to feel shame. If you do act in shameful ways, the remedy is confession, repentance, and reformation.
So: the professor's statement is actually quite revealing, though she is probably not intellectually disciplined enough to understand it. She is saying that she feels ashamed in the presence of people who are not sexually broken, and in the presence of people of faith. But her reaction is not repentance and reformation. It is rage.
Or, to cut to the chase: the darkness hates the light.
If there is a competent person at her university, or in the town, ready to engage the professor on these grounds, it could make for an interesting discussion. I doubt that she would be capable of responding to reasoned argument, but perhaps I underestimate her.
It is incredible the level of inflexible ignorance and a\ academic fascism pervading the nation’s colleges. I blame the
College President for allowing this woman to keep her job. I would probably fire the president along with the nutty professor. Most college presidents are weak kneed and they really need to have an equal amount of pressure from conservatives in the community in losing their jobs as the left gives them. They will fold like a cheap suit
