There was a time when teachers had respect in the classroom and authority to teach their classes. now they are so afraid of the PC authorities that it's impossible to be in charge. They are subject to the students wills instead of the other way round. They should be entitled to run the class their own way as long as it's in a professional manner. It's not an attack on the student not to give in to ridiculous demands by the students. From what i've heard the teacher is in the right and has a great case.
