“A University of Kansas professor was turned in by her students after using the ‘n-word’ in class to discuss her own white privilege.
The movement to purge all offensive speech from American college campuses has claimed another scalp. Andrea Quenette, an assistant communications professor, was chased out of her own classroom—not because she was a bad teacher, but because her students said she wasn’t agreeing with them quickly enough.
