I never had any politically slanted butthurt complaints in classes I taught, but I've had similar scale wailing and gnashing of teeth over assignments and/or reading. There's always one or two in each class that'll go postal, that's why they pay you through July.
when I taught polymers, I had the students consider what they wanted to make, the most green way of making it, what its expected use lifetime was, and how it could degrade gracefully even if it was thrown in a landfill. I said if we're doing our jobs right, archeologists of the future will only find teeth from our period in history
nope. Never taught regular organic either. I taught graduate echem, undergrad fuel cells (I created that class all by myself!) and, for one semester, polymers. It was in the SJSU materials/chemE dept. Since polymers was an elective class, I found out *after* I started teaching it that there were no prerequisites for the class, including organic chem (*facepalm*). I told the class they'd have to learn 7 functional groups and I'd get them through it.
Facepalm or per Cally, ffs.My P-chem buddy who taught at Oregon State and I shared how we both tried to minimize the O-chem. That said I had 2 1/2 years of it.
I luvs the o chem. If I didn't do e chem I would have done that. Of course I still do some of both.
Cathy O'Neil isn't even HAWT!!

One wonders how they get let in, much less pass.
There's always a chance that these letters are fiction.

Anyone want to take any bets on whether either of these bozos understand what “post modernism” is?
| The Man With The Blue Post Modern Fragmented Neo-Traditionalist Guitar | does.
Jeez if students were forced to learn about the social consequences of their fields of study, who know what awful things might happen?
So I should burn my 2nd Edition of "Organic Chemistry" by Morrison and Boyd?
just avoid the chlorinated aliphatics

Did you teach physical O chem?
