The modern art world suffered another of its periodic embarrassments recently when a visiting high school student at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art set his glasses down on the floor against a bare wall and walked away, whereupon museum patrons took it to be the latest avant garde masterpiece, crowding around it while striking chin-pulling poses and snapping photos.
Although the prank was quickly exposed, art fans defaulted to the usual confusions about the quintessentially modern question — what is art? — with not a few concluding that in context it wasn't a prank at all, but a legitimate new artistic expression. Never mind that the same teenager had previously punked art-goers with a baseball cap and a trash can placed in exhibit spaces.
This kind of radical subjectivity has at last spilled beyond modern art galleries and clattering coffee houses into the real world of law and politics with the recent elevation of transgender rights to the top of the national agenda.

Professor’s contract with students: ‘Drop the class immediately if you are triggered by free speech’
A professor has taken a novel approach when it comes to dealing with the increasing number of students railing against and even shutting down academic ideas they don't agree with: a contract.
James "Duke" Pesta, an associate professor of English at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, presents a two-page contract to his students on the first day of class that asks them to drop the course if they are "triggered" or offended by certain ideas or beliefs.
What does the contract say?
“In this course, we study literature from cultures that existed before you were born. Their world is not our world. Their beliefs may not be our beliefs. No one asks you to believe or endorse any premise, attitude, precept, theology, political system, or ideology contained in these books or expressed in class. Nor will you ever lose points or be docked grades because of your opinion (written, oral, or otherwise),” the ?
