What?

There is a handicapped man who frequents my place of work who is whispered about. I am told multiple times by my coworker that he is a child molester, although I have no idea how she knows this, and apparently this means he is not allowed to be treated as a human being. She never acknowledges him when he says hello or asks for help, and I get a dirty look every time I respond to a greeting of his, however briefly. But if I don't do it, who will?

My only class today met outside, an irregular ring of theatre students clustered around the professor as if we were all in kindergarten again. It was quite refreshing.
