Can a law professor ask a question about rape?

A terrible precedent from the insane left. Will need trigger warnings in the future to teach a sex crimes class.

Typical leftist response by the student: immediately assume a question is all about them and they have to divulge personal information or experience.

Yes — real world situations that involve anything related to gender are now off limits.

I suspect the bar exam is not as open-minded.

Clearly he is the one token Republican law professor at Howard.

One of the complaining students allegedly said she believed that the question somehow forced her to divulge whether or not she had undergone a Brazilian wax job process herself.

A self-absorbed snowflake who will spend her life being a PITA to everyone she knows and many others she merely comes in contact with.

Apparently now if you’re teaching literature or history and it involves rape or sexual assault you have to post that in (”trigger warnings”) before the class takes place. Or you can be brought up on some type of sham university charges.

The average grade now at Harvard is A-. Students expect As and Bs for just showing up. Don’t play ball with them they complain about this type of stuff or worse. They also allow students to ‘grade the professor’ so if you don’t give inflated grades it can hurt your career.

Of course, that means that grades are useless measures of ability for employers.

I guess the students will have to sign a waiver that they can’t sue over “bad” words. And then we can pray we never hire one of these idiot cry babies.

Well, I would suggest that law students that can’t deal with issues probably won’t be decent lawyers, but we are talking Howard here, so that’s probably a given.

But if we were ranking law schools, it likely is better than Southern or Texas Southern.

The problem is that the question didn’t have a homosexual context.

504 day investigation? How about a one day investigation? “Did you ask this question? Do you really think it’s appropriate? Really? Well don’t ask it again.”

“My case should worry every faculty member at Howard University, and perhaps elsewhere, who teaches in substantive areas like law, medicine, history, and literature,” Robinson said. “None of these academic areas can be taught without evaluating and discussing contextual facts, especially unsavory and emotionally charged ones.”

Law School.

Snow Flakes need not apply.

Law, especially cases involving rape and sexual abuse can not be taught without discussing man’s inhumanity to man.

People often do unspeakable things to one another and lawyers will have to discuss it in open court dispassionately.

If they can not do that in a lecture hall how are they going to do it the rough and tumble of an adversarial court room?

Apparently, I missed that it was about a woman. Men can have bikini wax jobs too, can’t they... ouch!

Exactly.

Remember, feminists say you determine sexual harassment from the perspective of the VICTIM.

Doesn’t matter what was intended, the context, the facts. Just matters that the female/victim perceived she was sexually harassed.

I remember my contracts exam in the first year of law school. One of the questions involved a shirt company called “Tanks for the Mammaries.” I aced that one!

Well, if the victim is in sole control over whether or not a harassment has occurred, then obviously we must punish the victim and let the “harrasser” go scot free. Can’t punish someone for a crime someone else committed.

16 month investigation. They must have thought this was important and urgent.

And yet NOW went on their knees for Bill Clinton and claimed that the first grope is “free”; such is the state of “workplace sexual harassment” among the loony Left.

An ex-girlfriend from another life tried to do a self wax and rip it ALL of at one time.

I never laughed so hard in my life.
