We have gone way overboard in preventing free speech. I do my best to speak respectively to people and refer to them the way they want to be referred to. But, if we don't like what this professor did, then let's have a dialogue about it. Let's not end the woman's career. People need to be able to express different opinions. Just as it is very appropriate for people to talk about why her choice of costume is offensive.

We are living in such a divisive time. Demonizing people does not help.
