it all had to do with the “whiteness” of the textbook. I was training TA’s to teach our public speaking class. The book was adopted for the course before I became course director. 5 out of my 16 TA’s were black and did not like the examples of civility in the book. AND what we need is more civillity. I was pissed.
Well said. Quite a lot of folks lacking a proper fetching up!

Amen all! And why was I criticized for teaching a civility chapter in our COMM textbook?
