A Map of Home by Randa Jarrar

What about sex makes everyone uncomfortable. After reading Randa Jarrar's "Family Map", one of the topics explored in the novel is Nidali's sexual arousal. Many students will claim that this novel is full of excessive sexual activity, that is, masturbation.

Tuesday night, creative writing professor at California State University in Fresno, Randa Jarrar wrote a series of insensitive and politically inappropriate tweets.

Quoting the words of the principal Joseph Castro, "Professors are not fully protected during the term of office and can not speak or act according to their own desires."

However, the first amendment has no "strange" exceptions. "The speech of Randa Jarrar is protected by the Constitution, and Fresno can not match the first amendment under disciplinary action," Ari Cohn of the Individual Rights Foundation in Education told me. "The most important thing is to publicly announce the investigation, the president's clear statement shows that he wants to take some sort of serious action against Jarrar.
