> Muslims are sensitive to ascribing a graphical depiction to the prophet. And this sensitivity should be taken into consideration. It was. The professor, knowing these sensitivities, warned the class in advance. Despite the warning, the offended student chose to attend the lecture anyway. The professor, sensing trouble, contacted her department chair who acknowledged she did everything right. It was only once the Muslim Student Association became involved that the dean and DEI leadership decided to throw the professor under the bus in the name of academic virtue signalling. There are many unfortunate parts of this sad affair. But certainly one is the alienation of allies who would otherwise be inclined toward cultural sensitivity had the university not taken such an extreme position. Although it may only be aspirational, the idea of proportional justice should undergird Western liberalism. This case shows the opposite is alive and well.
