do no harm:


idit dobb-weinstein: "teaching is action and thinking at once. What I try to guard against most when I teach is not speaking as if my answer were conclusive, so as to avoid (to the extent possible) any kind of dogmatic appropriation. It is understandable why students might wish to imitate their teachers, but there are different modes of imitation. I try very hard to avoid the mimetic appropriation that is immediate, passive, and occludes thinking. One other reason is that if I made clear what my views were, and my views appeared as if they were final, it would preclude the possibility of first, students challenging me and second, learning from my students. The relation between the student and teacher is, to me, a dynamic relationship . . . Teaching and learning is a movement that occurs between. In other words, we are at once both agent and patient, both teacher and learner. If we are not very careful, we can do a great deal of harm. And that, too, I have learned from my teachers, Maimonides especially.

I believe my task is to provoke students to think and to engage them in genuine dialogue and questioning. To paraphrase a rabbinic saying, 'I have learned from my teachers, and I have learned from my peers, but I have learned most from my students.' And that is a continuous process of learning."

He's also sent me violent pornographic videos depicting gang rape saying that he pictures me as the woman being raped.

Hi

I do not know who you are or what your connection to (redacted student name)  is but he has harassed and stalked me for almost a year. He has been suspended from LACC for sexual harassment and threatening behavior towards me. I have no idea why you would post the confidential information shared between him and the school or between myself and him. I don't know you. Perhaps you are friends with him. I would be happy to meet with you and show you all of the evidence of his harassment against myself. If you read all of the letters between us you would see that I stopped communication with him when he began to make incredibly inappropriate sexual remarks. After I stopped responding, he continued to harass and even stalk me.



You seem to be a thoughtful person and advocate for other women so why you are supporting this sexual harasser and incredibly unstable person is beyond me.  He has sent me naked pictures of another woman which he took without her knowledge, stating that "women love to be humiliated. He's also sent me violent pornographic videos depicting gang rape saying that he pictures me as the woman being raped. There is plenty more that I could show you (and not just tell you about) If you are inclined not to believe me. Again, I am happy to provide you with proof.

I would like to handle this civilly but if you do not take this information about me and the school down I will be forced to take legal action. I have already notified my attorney who has been dealing with this case on my behalf and we are poised to take the next step if necessary.



Thanks,
