First of all, no one in that article is uncomfortable because they can&#x27;t distinguish between &quot;the threat of rape and and the discussion of relevant law.&quot;  We&#x27;re talking about survivors of sexual assault, for whom the often very explicit discussions of rape law can be emotionally taxing.<p>You&#x27;re right that we do need to teach rape law, now more than ever, and we need to be able to have these nuanced and explicit discussions - but there&#x27;s ways to do that with empathy for survivors of sexual assault.  And honestly, I don&#x27;t see how warning the class about the content of a discussion beforehand or a few people abstaining (one&#x27;s that likely wouldn&#x27;t be participating much anyway) will drag down the entire system.
