breathe in, breathe out
poems and mountain
air
in the pink dusk
with pimples
moon
scrabbling for crumbs
amid the pigeons
sparrow
judges and juries
pelicans
on posts
cloudy valley
the dog barks
at himself

How should law professors teach cases and topics (such as “fedupskif”
sexual harassment law) that involve “graphic” descriptions of
a sexual, violent or profane nature? Prof. Wenger raised the
subject at Concurring Opinions, and the topic has been taken
up at Workplace Prof Blog by Paul Secunda. There are quite
a few lengthy comments at each weblog. I’m in the camp of
those who believe that law students are adults and should be
expected to both handle the subject matter and take it seriously
(that means cool it with the sophomoric remarks, gentlemen).
Although professors might want to give a low-key warning about
particularly hard-hitting matierials, they should not be watering-
down or cleaning up their pedagogy in order to spare the feelings
of the most sensitive, fragile, or easily-offended students.
