Must not admire the appearance of a female teacher

A university that has a strange idea of what "uncensored" means. But feminism never was logical. By their own behaviour, feminists reinforce the view of women (as "illogical") that they claim to oppose.
"A mature student has been kicked out of university after describing his female teacher as ‘tall, blonde, stacked, smart and articulate’ in an essay.

Joseph Corlett, 56, is fuming after Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan, kicked him off the writing and rhetoric course and the campus.

The journal in which he wrote the piece was labelled as a ‘place for a writer to try out ideas and record impressions and observations’. The idea was that uncensored writings and thoughts in the journal, which he handed in November, could be used to create proper essays.

Mr Corlett met with university officials in December and they allegedly told him last month he would be arrested if he set foot on the campus.

He was found guilty of intimidation by university officials at a hearing but a sexual harassment charge was dropped, reported ABC News. They added that he was suspended for three semesters and must go through sensitivity counselling if he wishes to reapply next winter.

‘This is a wild overreaction to a student's creative writing,’ FIRE President Greg Lukianoff, based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, said. 'The real issue is the First Amendment. It's about academic freedom and about due process'

‘The university has essentially issued a straightjacket to every writing student to protect the delicate sensibilities of faculty and staff.’

Oakland University Writing Center director Sherry Wynn Perdue told the Huffington Post that Mr Corlett had ‘victimised’ Ms Mitzelfeld.

You're free to write anything you want in our open forum, except for the topics which we will determine later, after reading your work.

These people are obscene! They don't know the meaning of the word 'uncensored'. When you strive to 'protect' everyone, you wind up stifling any chance of free expression.

I'd better stop here before I run the risk of being censored.

I wish some females would "victimize" me by writing nice things like that in their journals.

The irony being that these are the same folks have invited Muslim speakers to explain why Israel must be wiped off the map.

It seems they wouldn't have been so welcome had they mentioned that they thought Golda Meir was 'stacked'.

She did have those smoldering eyes....

What dont these university wanks beleive in free speech anymore or have they been reading THE COMMUNISTS MANIFESTO?

He may not have a case. Has anyone looked at the picture of the "victimized" woman? I'd hardly call her "stacked".

So much for "smart"…

Way back I commented that Julie Roberts looked a lot like one of my coworkers. Since it was a more reasonable time and my coworker was a secure, self confident individual, I received thanks for a complement.

Today I would be required to take sensitivity training or be fired or both.

As for the school's declaration of 'no censorship', that can be filed with declarations that 'the check is in the mail' and 'I'll love you in the morning."

"He was found guilty of intimidation by university officials at a hearing but a sexual harassment charge was dropped..."

Are these university "officials" authorized by law to charge someone with a crime or pronounce sentence on them? And if so, was he allowed to cross examine his accusers?

I hope this guy sues them for every dime they have.

If I was 59 and desperate, I might call this 49 year old "stacked"..

I'm glad there's at least one site on the internet that supports men's right to harass women just a little.

This site is the shining city city on a hill! Keep up the good work.
