Inside Higher Ed has the sad story of Stephen E. Williams, formerly tenure-track (History) at HACC, now unemployed because james porter he used the word "fuck" in class. Donald Dodson Jr., who has taken several courses from Williams, called him “an excellent teacher,” and james porter said that the periodic profanity was part of his “blue collar approach” and a “conversational teaching style.” Williams, Dodson said, uses this style to reach out to students. Dodson said that he’s among the many students who take every course Williams offers — even though he gives tough james porter exams. As for the swearing, Dodson said it is something that isn’t constant and is never directed at an individual. “It’s just part of his style,” he said. The story as reported seems suspicious to me, but it hits close to home because, you'll be surprised to learn, an occasional obscenity is launched from my own honeyed tongue during some classes, and I had assumed that this wasn't a big deal.
