Today we looked at a News Hour analysis of the Don Imus (MSNBC) anchor comments re: Rutger's Women's Basketball NCAA Championship game last week. We also read the essay "How to Speak of Animals" (handout). If you missed class or are unfamiliar with the controversy watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF9BjB7Bzr0

These remarks came on the anniversary of Title 9 legislation passed about ten years ago which made colleges and universities programs invest in women's sports the same as it invested money and resources into men's sports. This legislation was to encourage high school women to apply for athletic scholarships.

The question considered was: Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press. Does this freedom allow one to slander a particular person or ethnic group? What should be the consequences of such remarks?

For homework students were to respond to the question: Did Frankenstein's monster have prejudicial press like the children mauled to death at the Central Park Zoo (Eco essay)? Support your argument with examples from the text and from your own experience.

We will be developing opening remarks for the trial of Dr. Frankenstein vs. The Monster, this Thursday. Decide which roles you'd like to take and which argument you'd like to prove in the State of California vs. Victor Frankenstein: Frankenstein is guilty for the crimes his creature commits. The charge parental neglect.

The overall context is our theme Nature vs. Nurture.
