I Want to Be Obsolete. Instead, I’m Afraid to Teach.

Teaching about marginalized communities has become a challenging task for some professors in the local area. Using a feminist anti-racist lens to explain patriarchy's impact on students' lives can be perceived as threatening to some individuals. As a result, professors may face risks such as being placed on watchlists or having their books banned. Some also fear being targeted by unhappy students. Despite these challenges, many professors find motivation in their students' enthusiasm for learning about their histories and experiences. Further details about the concerns and experiences of these professors are available from Ms. Magazine.
