Should it have been?
What would have been wrong with having made a simple apology for bad manners accompanied by a promise to conduct the class in a civil and respectful manner? Lots of people say something dumb or insensitive on occasion but at heart are not really crumbs. The professors remarks might have been an unprofesional way to start a class, but once the mistake was made might also have been an excellent teaching tool for the professor and an excellent lqrning tool for the students.
And there is this matter too: Was the professor really wrong in the first place?
