> material presented in this [...] may be triggering to some students." Can't be serious as I didn't see MUMPS in the list. (Who gets that joke wins a free trip to Wisconsin)

For folks interested there's another implementation specific db course https://web.stanford.edu/class/cs346/2015/ although the lectures are not on youtube

So sad that they are forced to put such "warnings" on this kind of courses.

There was a similar issue some years ago, where a popular author on Oracle PL/SQL began polluting his technical books with politically-charged text in the examples. In this case, though, the "trigger" was not something so innocuous as terminology such as master-slave. The author's justification here: http://archive.oreilly.com/pub/a/oreilly//news/feuerstein_10...
Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'd hesitate to describe master-slave as innocuous to begin with.
By taking this course and referring others to it you're directly supporting CMU - and indirectly supporting CMU's activities related to breaking the Internet for the FBI/US: https://www.google.com/search?q=CMU+TOR
There's a lot of really good work that comes out of CMU, including the department that helped the FBI.
EDIT: furthermore, SEI was doing independent research into the security of TOR. The FBI subpoena'd CMU to give up the results/contents of the research which is what ultimately helped the FBI do what they wanted.
