This really happened?
I took an environmental science class in college, and the professor was a former president of Shell. As part of the curriculum, we had to read his book, Why we Hate the Oil Companies. Predictably, it's a corporate non-apologia, which—hilariously—completely avoids engaging with why we actually hate the oil companies.
Did people stand up to call the bullshit? I guess in this kind of situation you feel threatened that if you talk, you get penalized heavily
Not that I recall. I didn't know anyone else in the class, and I don't remember anything coming up in the class group chat. I did get quite heated with him at a couple of points, but I'm pretty sure he still gave me an A.
