As a guy whose general-ed, intro-astronomy course for non-majors involves Greek mythology, the beginning of modern science (including Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, and Newton, all of whom lived in the West), evolution (human, biological and stellar), and the Big Bang, I am living on a volcano.
The irony is that the headline is some really good advice for proffies - warn the class that it'll take awhile to get the hang of this trigger warning thingie.
