A University of Michigan class that earlier prompted state lawmakers to consider a 10 percent budget penalty for the school and is taught by a homosexual professor openly endorsing the "uncompromising political militancy" of "lesbian and gay studies" is returning.
The class at the tax-funded University of Michigan in Ann Arbor is called "How to be Gay: Male Homosexuality and Initiation," and is taught by David Halperin.
It surfaced in 2000, returned the following year and again a couple years later. Now university officials have confirmed it is returning, and Gary Glenn, president of the American Family Association of Michigan, said "it was and remains an outrageous abuse of taxpayer dollars."
Each time it has been offered we have renewed our objections to it. The first time around the Michigan House of Representatives came with a few votes of cutting the university budget by 10 percent," he said.
He said Halperin "makes no bones about it on the other side of the world, knowingly using tax dollars to promote the militant political agenda of homosexuality."
Glenn was referring to Halperin's writings on his activities as part of his work in Australia, where he spends part of each year.
There, Halperin has written, "The fact is that lesbian and gay studies simply is the academic wing of the lesbian, bisexual, gay, and transgender movement … no one in the field has ever (to my knowledge at least) contested this…"
"Let there be no mistake about it: lesbian and gay studies, as it is currently practiced in the U.S., expresses an uncompromising political militancy," he wrote.

This must be nailed high and loud

Am I the ony one who thinks this entire subject is not only perverted, but mysogynistic?
At least it’s fitting that he’ll be demonstrating where the taxpayers always take it.
At least he doesn’t hide the name of the class, like most of the pedophile Prof’s. On the other hand, if they are born that way, why do they need classes?
Principal: Your FIRED! Your homophobic views cannot be tolerated!
I thought it was something you were born into and you had no choice.
They've got to get their stories straight.
*crickets*
For some reason the word "initiation" really strikes me as odd to use in the title of the class, like he wants to be all the guys "first" that are coming out of the closet there or something.
They have to be trained?!
No wonder why the islamists want to kill us.
Can you imagine the feeling of shelling out big money to send your kid off to college, only to see that turd come home on his class list? Man, talk about having your funds cut off...
Gotta wonder what subjects the curriculum includes....
101: Effective Gay Bar Pickup Lines, or, “Excuse me, May I push in your stool?”
102: Effective Soap-Drop Targeting Techniques for the Shower
103: Introduction to Suppressing the Gag Reflex
104: The Red-Light Shower Poetry Hour
etc...
I would hate to see what the homework assignments are like. Do they take field trips to public bathrooms? Yuck.
HOMO105: Foot tapping codes and perfecting your “wide stance”
Hazing has a special meaning to such “academics”, I guess.
Is this an undergraduate class or a graduate class? If it’s an undergrad class then I can see this being a unit of study in a sociology class, maybe a week at the most. But in my opinion it has no place being the entire focus of an undergraduate class.
If it’s a graduate class it would make more sense—graduate classes can be quite specific and study a topic in extended detail.

The dumbing down of America continues. If you have to pay to learn how to be gay, you’re simply too stupid to exist on this planet.
Next thing we know, college profs will be justifying their overpaid tenured positions by teaching morons how to breath.
This is why I wouldn’t waste my money on a college education today. Too much smoke ‘n mirrors, not enough substance.
