most interesting thing to happen in an art history class

She didn't force anyone to view the painting.

If I want to view a painting, why the f*** should I care if offends someone else if they aren't being forced to do that.

Being homosexual is openly "disrespectful" to many religions, so do you think that is wrong?

lol

indeed, the general idea is that they indulge in things considered impure to transcend material duality

it’s similar to Vajrayana Buddhism, them boys consume feces, semen etc. in an attempt to cull the minds primal aversion, through this it’s supposed to cultivate an acceptance of the world at large and a form of enlightenment

it’s pretty gross all in all and forward, but yeah

Ever. That s*** is soooo boring

Pretty surprised they actually covered a non white artist in one tho

And the teacher was fired for showing historical artwork

Interesting

Art history is super fascinating actually

oh for sure im just joshing u lil hoss

You tell me not to eat something because your faith that I don't even follow says that it isn't allowed I'm dropping my pants and farting in your face foh tryna force ya bullshit on me

Breh what did u just call me

Religion in 2023

hindus aren’t a monolith big guy, they do animal sacrifices and consume meat too, they probably have the most varied views out of any major religion out there

@edumist go 'head king

i mean i don't think she should have showed her students the artwork. but she gave significant warning and communicated exactly what would happen in a respectful and professional manner.

it seems like there has been reported islamaphobia on the campus and in recent events that has now made this a hot topic in the national spotlight.

The s*** about religion that kills me is if a nigga was walking around in 2023 talking about being the son of god, hearing gods voice etc etc we'd call him a crackhead and move on with life

lil hoss

It’s not hard to double check with religious scholars or devotees to a religion to make sure something isn’t offensive. Especially as a professor who has done dissertations, etc there is no way she was this messy by mistake.

Idc about talking about homosexuality stay on the topic

1) It’s offensive of itself to draw it
2) She’s aware she represents an academic institution made up of multiple demographics, including Muslims
3) Shes aware the act of drawing the prophet is insulting
4) She does it anyway

If you can’t understand the logic of why in the context of an academic multicultural setting this was stupid on her part, there’s no point in going further

Idk I don't want to speak on it too much considering it's not my religion but do Muslims typically go their entire lives without seeing depictions of the prophet irl? If you can't handle smth like that in a controlled and professional environment...what will happen irl?

Because its hypocritical as f*** LMAO

This is also irrelevant to the example and point
