As recently as six years ago, Harvard law students were satisfied with professors merely issuing “triggering warnings” before discussing sexual assault crimes in Crim I (or any class — one professor was asked by a student not to use the word 'violate' in class — as in ‘Does this conduct violate the law?’ — because the word was triggering.) Today, anything and everything is a fireable offense.
I wonder if there’s a teacher anywhere in this fine country of ours who’s brave enough, or suicidal enough, to assign Huckleberry Finn as even a suggested reading?
