Law school prof at UConn suspended over material presented in class comparing pimps to slave owners, due to inclusion of R-rated material.
I think the guy was stretching, myself, but keep in mind that the average law student is age 25 and that it is statistically unlikely that anyone in either of the classes was under 21 (not to mention 18). Frankly, some of my professors have made me pretty uncomfortable in class before, but I just don't see how this is a reasonable response.
