Broadly, I agree. I don't think removing a seminal artist like Crumb from a curriculum because some students are offended is at all good or appropriate.
However, when you read into the Gloeckner case it seems like the students weren't the only ones acting insufferable. The thing is if you're going to be teaching Crumb in an academic environment you have to be able to speak to the more challenging aspects of his work on an intellectual level. If even half of the allegations were true, Gloeckner wasn't justifying her curriculum academically, and she also wasn't behaving appropriately in and out of class for her position.
