We're in Renaissance Italy Class and had to totally drop the topic of the Reformation of the Church because talking about the Catholic Church 'that way' offended one of my classmates.
Apparently this is one of those days where people can wave their stupidity flags at the same level as Holocaust deniers because the Church obviously can't do anything wrong and the Reformation is something really confusing and obviously evil even if it resulted in the church we have today. Maybe we should just go back to Popes having kids out of wedlock with hot Nuns and selling Indulgences for things like murder and incest. Maybe the Inquisition never happened, and it's all just a slur campaign by Atheists and Pastafarians and people who worship the Invisible Pink Unicorn. Maybe dinosaurs really are just a prank being pulled on us by the devil, and those of us who go to things like the Natural History Museum in London and watch the Jurassic Park movies are just hopeless sinners with no hope of redemption. Maybe Martin Luther was just a jerk who defaced a church door.
What I'm baffled by, besides her horror of history and her smallness of mind (i mean, really, she doesn't have to accept any of this if she doesn't like it- she doesn't have to interrupt my (and my classmates) lesson to tell the teacher to change the topic) is why she didn't just go sit in the hall.

Ash: lol true
Me: I dunno.. if you have an issue with the things the teacher is saying then argue it..State your case... but don't insist that he stop talking about it.. if you cant deal then get up and leave
but dont make it hard on everyone else to learn because you are uncomfy
(( this is were shealy did his epicness))
Me: LOL HE JUST DID THAT!
Ash: LOL I KNOW!!
Me: PFT!
Sounds like a pretty sub-par teacher; no educator worth his salt would simply abandon a topic because someone was uncomfortable with it.
I'm so glad you've already figured out all those consipiracies. It'll make your life ever so much easier. :)
Oh. My. Gawd. *boggles at the stupidity*
I am so giving you a Smiting Stick when you get home so you can beat that girl senseless.
I agree with Cliff. None of my professors would have dropped the subject for fear of offense. But then, Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia...
