Please feel free to comment. :)

People get offended ALL the time, come on!

Look man, professors say all kinds of stupid stuff all across the world. People are offensive sometimes. Sometimes offensive opinions are even correct. But just because an opinion is offensive doesn't mean it needs to be stopped! By that standard most of what anyone says would be stopped, cus it's gotta be offensive to someone!

I really think you are blowing this whole thing out of proportion. You claim this has made you a stronger person. A stronger person wouldn't need to make a formal case out of an academic comment that rubbed him the wrong way. He'd argue with the teacher or suck it up and move on with his life.

Universities are supposed to be about discussing controversial ideas in an open and, yes, often "offensive" manner.. Your proposal to make universities into sanitized havens of "political correctness" (your word) is a recipe for conformity and mediocrity. What a boring and stale educationalal system you, and your Nervous Nelly PC friends, are giving us.

Professor Hoppe

It's been established that Prof. Hoppe was speaking in generalities and what he said is not true of everyone who is homosexual.

Sometimes the truth is offensive, that's why we have 1st Amendment protection. No one wants to censor things we don't find offensive.

You have two choices:

1. Apologize to Prof. Hoppe and move on

OR

2. Prove his comment wrong and get him to apologize to you.

My advise is to do the former ASAP.

Good Luck
