Have a look at this article, whose nominal subject is academic freedom and whose implicit subject is the crudity and ineptitude with which a professor at a third tier state university can go about instructing his students:
[Liberty Counsel’s] complaint relates to Grace Lewis, a high school student enrolled at Polk State through the Florida Virtual School Full Time program … Liberty alleges that Russum is a “radical ideologue, bent on imposing his views on students, in violation of acceptable academic standards and the U.S. Constitution.” As evidence, it cites multiple elements of the syllabus and assignments for the online introductory humanities course, including Russum’s notes that “What we take to be the ‘truth’ is just the retelling of the myths of early civilization. The god [sic] of Christianity/Islam/Judaism are [sic] a mixture of the god(s) myths of the Mesopotamians. … The point of this is not to ‘bash’ any religion, we should NEVER favor one over the another, they all come from the same sources, HUMAN IMAGINATION” [emphasis Russum’s].
The complaint also cites Russum’s introduction to the ancient epics, which highlights “elements of homoerotic/friendship, raw human sexuality” and “the use of sexuality and the role of women.” Liberty says that Russum also tried to “deconstruct the Bible by claiming that the discredited position that the Egyptian Book of the Dead is the source material for the biblical Book of Samuel,” for example, and that he discredited Christianity by citing the Crusades and saying that “Christianity proved itself during the Middle Ages to be one of the most violent forms of religion the world had ever seen.”

Sirach 42:15-25.
¿Que? What has this to do with you refusing to furnish references to back up your accusations?
“¿Que? What has this to do with you refusing to furnish references to back up your accusations?”
It was just as apropos as your post.
And yet you still pussyfoot around giving an answer.
“And yet you still pussyfoot around giving an answer.”
That’s completely false. There is no answer that is required. Do a little work rather than being dependent on others.
I did my work, I posted it, and I gave my source. And yet you refuse to. What are you hiding?
“Still pussyfooting.”
Never started.
“I did my work, I posted it, and I gave my source.”
So?
“And yet you refuse to.”
Do your own work.
“What are you hiding?”
Not a thing. Do your own work.
“No ethics, no honesty.”
You’re still wrong and no amount of whining on your part will change that fact.
Prove your unsubstantiated accusation or withdraw it. Don’t be like the progressives; show a little integrity and do your own work.
“That’s right so don’t be lazy and provide the evidence to back up your claim.”
The facts may not match the assertion so best to avoid that.
