educator

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'teacher' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'censor stopping course reportedly upsetting' is the wordplay.
'censor' becomes 'cato' (I've seen this before).
'stopping' means one lot of letters goes inside another (stopping can mean blocking a gap).
'course reportedly' becomes 'rude' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'upsetting' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'rude' in reverse letter order is 'edur'.
'cato' put within 'edur' is 'EDUCATOR'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for educator that I've seen before include "coach" , "Teacher, lecturer" , "school worker" , "Trainer, teacher" , "mistress, say" .)
