I suppose I should be glad I lasted this long.

We were discussing a graphic novel and how we would present it to teens. One girl mentioned it was violent. Another mentioned it's potentially anti-religious message. Then I had to open my big stupid mouth and bring up the drug use.

The prof then roundly scolded the whole class for picking apart this book and considering censoring it from teens.

That never entered into my mind. I loved this book. I was not offended by the drug reference, or by any of the other issues. I only brought it up because I thought we were discussing the controversial points in the novel. I wasn't objecting to them. I was just trying to contribute to the discussion and instead I got scolded for even noticing these parts in the book.

I even said that I was not objecting to those references in the book, but of course, that only made it look like I was even more.

So now I'm known as one of the judgmental sensitive little snowflakes who cannot handle any mention of drug use in books.
