a discussion about a hallucinogenic plant that is theorized to have played a role in religous life of a cult identified as a pre-cursor to Christianity
This seems like the type of statement which would make good click-bait online, and an interesting tidbit for a professor to toss out to see who might inquire about the source(s) of that theory, the credibility of the sources, the other works of the sources, the impact if the theory was true, any ongoing anthropological/archeological research being done on the subject, and whether such a theory might ever be proved/disproved... or might remain forever a theory, shrouded in mystery.
It seems this type of open-minded discussion would be encouraged by the author of the article.
It seems that placing the lesson and discussion on a list of
trigger-warnings or
micro-aggressions (essentially censorship) would be questioned by the author of the article.
