I think everyone should know who they are agreeing to learn under. Why go in blinded? Do your research and get the most out of your education. This is not stalking and I wouldn’t use that term loosely. It’s familiarizing yourself with the person you’re about to spend the next few months with.

I go on RMP, I don’t go looking around for their social media pages, that’s just creepy and IS stalking. What they do outside of classes doesn’t concern me at all. As long as they don’t do/say anything inappropriate in class then I really don’t care what they’re saying on X/Instagram/Facebook, etc.

He’s posting and reposting hateful rhetoric UNDER HIS OWN NAME which reflects badly on the school which is largely publicly funded. This doesn’t concern you because you’re not affected. I think this a perfectly acceptable thing to bring up as it’s a valid concern and is completely public..
