I agree with Michael but not for entirely the same reasons. Hope, I’m
afraid I see your interdiction as symptomatic of the extent to which
political correctness has paralysed American academia. You are basically
saying: “Let’s not discuss this topic IN CASE anyone says something
contentious”. For once music intersects with real life – at the hard end,
too -- and we’re not allowed to talk about it? It strikes me that your
students might actively expect you to have some views on the subject, and
if they don’t, you ought to be asking the questions that start them
thinking. Sweep issues like this under the carpet and you are in
dereliction of duty.

Martin,
I wouldn't have thought that you would assume that everyone who posts to
this list (or AMS-L) is an academic, or has students.
Just popping up to grind *my* ax.
