Reply #3: I don't see where it says he mentioned her name

[MH1]

so it could have been a hypothetical question.

If it was a class in education or ethics or philosophy or something I can even see where it might be ok, if it was couched as a hypothetical, even if a real event had made him think of it.

But in this guy's role I really wonder why he thought this would be a good idea. Maybe he was concerned that if she was allowed to pass the class, then other students would feel he'd treated the situation unfairly?
