Wow! I bet the lawyers can’t wait to get her on the stand so they can repeat her diatribes in the courtroom.

The students at Northwestern, where I believe she went, should point at her and laugh as she walks by.

Facts and logic are clearly not of heavier weight than “feelings”.

There was a thread about this a while back and the Prof was considering suing her students. Has she actually filed suit?

And exactly “WHY” is such a sniveling whining loser even employed at a prestigious school like Dartmouth? I didn’t realize affirmative action included LOSER.

As best I can tell, the article title is misleading. The Prof hasn’t sued anyone, only threated it.

It is really difficult to satirize lefties like this because they are so absurd in real life.

Surely this is satire. If only students WOULD
challenge these mind dancing elitists.

This one is tough to construct satire for, because it is already a farce. The woman is certifiable - and, similar to what someone else said, it seems that the school’s policy of diversity-driven hiring (affirmative-action) led them to accept someone with questionable scientific merit, an array of personality disorders, and atypical stupidity.

From the real story: "The remarkable thing about the Venkatesan affair, to me, is that her students cared enough to argue."

Thanks, John, for bringing this issue to my attention with your usual hilarious satirical treatment of the lunacy of the left.

I can never decide which I like best, the post or the thread comments.

Venkatesan maintains that some of her students were so resistant to her exposition of “French narrative theory” that the classroom became a “hostile working environment.” “They argued with my ideas,” she charged. “They questioned my authority.”

How is this much different than many thin-skinned threads around here? I've seen one post where a lawsuit was intimated toward another poster simply because somebody was "annoyed" (their word). And I've heard of many pressing the abuse button simply because they didn't like the negative presentation of their faith.
