SOME OF THE LATEST COURSES FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS TO CHOOSE

What kind of employment skills are provided to students taking these courses?

I have often harped about how once admired America’s colleges and Universities have become the laughing stock of the world by offering such worthless courses as Women’s Studies; Gender Studies; Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Studies; African-American Studies, etc.

Now some of our institutions of higher education are offering some new courses for students to choose that, if and when they get employed following graduation, will make it even more difficult to pay off their student loans than students who graduate from MIT or Carnegie Mellon University.

From “College Campus Lunacy” by Walter Williams:

Adding to campus lunacy are classes such as "Lady Gaga and the Sociology of the Fame" at the University of South Carolina.

Cornell University's physical education department offers a class titled "Recreational Tree Climbing."

At Georgia State University, the English department offers a course called "Kayne vs. Everybody."

At Tufts University's Experimental College, one can take a class called "Demystifying the Hipster."

Skidmore College's sociology department offers "The Sociology of Miley Cyrus: Race, Class, Gender and Media."

Frostburg State University's physics department offers "The Science of Harry Potter," where it examines some of the tale's magic.

Georgetown University offers "Philosophy and Star Trek," arguing that "Star Trek is very philosophical" and adding, "What better way, then, to learn philosophy, than to watch Star Trek, read philosophy, and hash it all out in class?"


Miley Cyrus? Does that include instructions in how to maintain your fame and wealth while smoking dope and fucking women as well as men … by the shitload?

The Science of Harry Potter? Ah now, here is a course with some science in it … unfortunately it’s fictional science, not factual science.

I wonder how soon some of our colleges and universities will offer a really important degree in Pokemon Go Studies? At least that degree might help graduates to find where they’re going and doing it without bumping into each other.

I’m sure that the administrators and professors of colleges offering such nonsensical degrees and courses will swear that they are vital for students to succeed in today’s diverse and multi-cultural society.

I suppose it is important for folks of all racial, religious and ethnic groups to get along with each other so they can hold hands while singing Kumbaya. Oops, wait a minute … Jews are an exception. Today Jewish students are treated like Nazis on many campuses because they are identified with the state of Israel which has become the object of left-wing hatred.

We should hang our heads in shame when we compare our institutions of higher education with those in China, Japan and Europe.

Let me conclude by asking a few questions.

Leroy, what kind of job did you get with your degree in African-American Studies?

Butch, what kind of a job did you get with your degree in LGBT Studies?

Mom and Dad, is your kid enrolled in the Lady Gaga or Miley Cyrus course, or one of these other idiotic courses now that you’ve blown a wad of your hard earned dollars for his or her college education?

What's wrong with Fictional Science. It's kind of like Political Science or Economics.
