I'm happy to contribute to this deep dive into faculty-student dynamics.

I comment on showing Hindu art w/swastikas (which I do, knowing it can cause offense b/c Nazis) and my personal experience that Gen Z is pretty robust with difficult subjects.

That makes many faculty members nervous.

Then you explain that the swastika is upright with the arms at right angles whereas the Nazi symbol is rotated by 45°?

@simon_lucy that doesn’t always hold true. But yes, I explain general points of distinction. The most critical is context.

@audreytruschke

Good, then it isn't a generational difference more about good teaching practice which I guess is as inconsistently done now as in the past, and it did happen in the past.

So your class is fortunate :-).
