教遇到这事如何应对。咱这英文照本宣科还可以，要反驳人家可什么也说不出。
原文是：
世事总难如人意，有时无法做出好的选择
这次投给了川普。选举之后，身边发生的事情会让在下一次还是投给民主党的提名。
我爱人在医院做护士， 听她说有的有色护士现在被白人借川普的口气侮辱。 还有，我
看到一个社区学院（我以前有时在那学校代课）的教师被被一个白人女学生辱骂而痛哭
，心里非常难受。想想西雅图乃左党大本营尚有白女如此猖狂，要是少数民族处在红区
该有多可怕。 现在也谈不上后悔投给川普：只能说世事总难如人意，有时无法做出好
的选择.

Subject: Re: A Testimony...But What Should I Do When A Student Directs Hate
Speech At Me?
I think it's great you were able to gracefully navigate stormy waters, but
what do I do when at a loss of what to do? Here's a different testimony....
and hopefully you'll see why I think some kind of training to help faculty
would be beneficial!
For example, I was completely frozen when a student proceeded to spout hate
speech at me in my office Tuesday morning. I was like a deer caught in
headlights, mouth hanging open, pretty much unable to respond or change the
focus of our engagement.
This student pretty much hit a QUINTO Jackpot of insults: There was the
latino insults replete with name calling on top of comments about how cheap
hard-working and grateful her nannie and maid were. She went on to include
anti-poor rhetoric (against section 8 people), followed by anti-black speech
related to the section 8 on top of it all(my grandmother was mulata,
something I've mentioned in class), went on to anti-age (literally calling
me too old to understand when my face registered offense) and finalized the
verbal assault with anti-vegan speech. That's right...she slipped that in as
well. The student previously objected to the vegan brushes in our painting
kits, and to my vegan cupcakes at midterm crit. Doesn't like my one pair of
vegan shoes either. I mean I was FROZEN during her entire toxic tirade. I
finally gathered my wits, told her that I couldn't believe she didn't
question her privilege and use of power, walked her to my office door and
asked her to go vote.
I was shaken enough that I reached out to colleagues for reflection,
wondering if I should press disciplinary charges. I was counseled to file,
mind you, but didn't get around to it. It was voting Tuesday after all!
I cried on my way to work Wed and Thurs. Not only because after the election
I fear that as an immigrant and woman of color I am now more vulnerable to
hate speech, but because even before the results were in, I was subjected to
a pretty brutal session of it right in my own office! I also feared what
that student would aim at me now that the majority of Americans have voted
for a president that normalized hate speech.
At the next class session, she came up to me as I was conversing to two
other students, interrupted our conversation without any clear understanding
of what we had been discussing previously, and began with what sounded like
the beginning of an anti-Obama rally speech. I very forcefully cut her off
saying "I don't want to hear any hate speech from you today." Then I asked
the whole class to focus on the lecture we had scheduled that day, and
carried on.
Let's be clear, I knew as soon as I spoke out, that while effective at
stopping another verbal assault, my tone and manner was not one of an
impartial or empathetic teacher.
I later apologized to the student for my harsh response. It was supremely
effective at stopping her speech, but I am not an oppressor and would much
rather have at my disposal other perhaps more effective strategies for
verbal judo to diffuse incendiary speech.
As it is, I feel completely unprepared for how to respond to hate speech
directed at my person, especially when it is coming from a student! Given
the imperative that we serve students in impartial and empathetic ways, it
is incumbent on our college to offer faculty training on just how to do that
, especially to those who fear being on the receiving end of hate speech (as
I already have been).
