Law prof says he was forced to undergo lengthy mental examination & drug test after exam question caused students ‘distress'

[Campus Reform] A University of Illinois-Chicago professor included a redacted reference to a racial slur on an exam. The professor told Campus Reform that the controversy surrounding the incident led to him being subjected to an hours-long mental examination.

According to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education — which defends the legal right to free expression for college students and faculty members — law professor Jason Kilborn created a hypothetical fact pattern in a mock employment discrimination case for his final exam. The fact pattern referred to "profane expressions for African Americans and women," identified as expurgated text ("’n_____’ and ’b_____’").

More than 400 people signed a petition condemning Kilborn’s actions.

"The slur shocked students created a momentous distraction and caused unnecessary distress and anxiety for those taking the exam," said the petition. "Considering the subject matter, and the call of the question, the use of the ’n____’ and ’b____’ was certainly unwarranted as it did not serve any educational purpose. The question was culturally insensitive and tone-deaf."

#2 From Wiki, "Political Abuse of Psychiatry in the Soviet Union":

During the leadership of General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev, psychiatry was used to disable and remove from society political opponents ("dissidents") who openly expressed beliefs that contradicted the official dogma.

The term "philosophical intoxication", for instance, was widely applied to the mental disorders diagnosed when people disagreed with the country's Communist leaders and, by referring to the writings of the Founding Fathers of Marxism–Leninism—Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, and Vladimir Lenin—made them the target of criticism.
