Islamophobic?!
It obviously wasn’t islamophobic enough. What an inversion of meaning.
They should have just said “offensive and hurtful to Muslims” and left it at that. They can complain, but they don’t get to change the meaning of language.

(To be clear, I still think an art history professor should be able to show whatever artwork they want.)
I kind of understand society can’t ban images of say owls because say the bla people find it offensive But we do find it distasteful to refer to certain groups of people with names that THEY find offensive even when the majority of the globe don’t really get the offensive association
This wasn't some sort of general education seminar that went out of its way to bring up a controversial issue. It was an Art History class. To suggest that an art history professor should be somehow constrained in showing historical art , to adults, in a college class because some people might find it offensive is frankly absurd. The fact that the college would choose to expel the art historian who showed this historical art in an art class rather than those who were offended because of their primitive religious beliefs is a perfect encapsulation of the intellectual rot that has infected "Western society".
At best an average art lecturer wants to make statements about censorship they can do it on their dime in their own medium. the worst is, let’s leave that.
We're not talking about mathematics. we're talking about language something that's extremely Malleable. has always changed will always change and will always have people like you upset about it .
And by the way we just decided as a group that 1 = a single unit and doesn't mean 2.5 units
