Why gaslight Germans who have been indoctrinated since the end of WWII to erase themselves from history - pressure is coming from above and few people will risk their livelihood to be a "hero". Academia is a pressure cooker of perverted norms.
Yes, academia
is a pressure cooker of perverted norms. You get used to it and honestly, I don't really give a shit. I've had my fair share of
'they/thems' in my classes, guys coming in wearing skirts, guys who used to be girls, both genders with so many piercings they rattle when they walk - I don't care.
Come, do the work, participate, try your best, leave the semester with the grade you've earned.
This Syrian guy - when he bothered to come - sat there scowling with his arms folded, refused to interact with any female member of the class and consequently failed one of his assessments - and now the institution itself is lecturing me on inclusivity and cultural sensitivity and telling me to 're-grade' something that hasn't even been done in the first place?
Get fucked.
I'm supposed to turn a blind eye to some guy who didn't work just because he's muslim?
Get fucked.
How is this integrating into your adopted society? If the social institutions themselves are demanding we make exceptions purely because of religious beliefs then whatever hope we might have had is long gone.
