[students] I don't allow people to write about abortion for their research topics because people go bananas if they have a platform for it. this term, someone wanted to write about stem cell research. I approved it. this was a mistake.
cringing in the back of the room as someone soapboxes about the murder of babies
i... didn't want this.
oh sweet baby jesus no
my feedback notes ended up being like "well, we did discuss the validity of emotional appeals when delivering an argument....."
luckily, she went so far off the rails that another student used the Q+A to point out all the flaws in her argument
I'd argue that that's not really about stem cell research anymore.
Especially since scientists started developing methods to get stem cells without harming embryos in 2006.
You'd be p justified to have put a stop to her ranting saying that this was a blatant attempt to find a loophole to do a project on the forbidden topic.
