One student asked the teacher to cover over everything sexual in the final book with a black marker, and this wasn't even the most sexual of the books. Trigger warnings on 'disturbing' art, to me, is an excuse to pretend the world isn't a screwed up place. It's ignoring the issues at hand, which I cannot support.How did the teacher respond?
