If universities err, they should err on the side of increased freedom, 22 not on the side of repression, which does not ignore crudeness or bad taste, but exposes it to the moral responses and moral witness of other free individuals. Sunlight is indeed the best disinfectant.” Alan Charles Kors, Professor at University of Pennsylvania, at 10:05 am EST on February 14, 2006 22 Why is this Controversial? Truly ironic; if the professors defending the comments had made any of those comments to each other in a staff meeting, THEY 22 would have been fired. If those comments were made face to face in a local bar, they could have resulted in a fist fight. If the teacher had made similar comments, on a public website, about those very students, SHE would have been fired. If the students had made similar comments about OTHER STUDENTS IN THE CLASS, they would have been kicked out (statements about expectations of respect towards other students are standard in class itineraries handed out at the beginning of the semester).
