Want to try out this new course at Oberlin College? For a hefty $4,950 you'll get to examine why "only citizens ... 'get' to claim queerness, whereas undocumented immigrants are always presumed to be heteronormative."
In other words, you'll study why people "always" assume that illegal immigrants are straight.

"From my understanding, this is a class that is teaching students to critically engage in topics of identity around sexuality, nationality, disability ... [issues] that are not only part of the larger public discourse, but that people are engaged in on many college campuses and within the broader society as well."
Don't forget to check out the slide show of these freaks we are elevating! Eleven imgages that clearly spell out this agenda.
Anything but solid knowledge is emphasized.
One of ths “slides”:
FemSex
No — it’s not a pornography site, but rather an independent study course at Carleton College that stands for “Female Sexuality.” The Carleton Gender and Sexuality department bills it on their Web site as “The class ... you’ve been waiting to take!”
Assigned homework readings range from “I’m not fat, I’m Latina” and “Myth of the black butt” to “How to have energy orgasms” and plenty of other titles that we can’t print here.
Eric Sieger, Director of Media & Public Relations at Carleton, said the class, which requires an instructor’s approval, is relatively new — and with an annual tuition of $40,000, FemSex costs about $4,500 to take.
“The course is basically a study in the history and culture of the female sexuality perspective,” Sieger said.
Another educational glimpse of a dumbed down course
(slide show):
Video Game Studies
If you need a break from math at MIT, “Introduction to Videogame Studies” might appeal to you.
“Students play and analyze videogames while reading current research and theory,” reads the course description, which says students are expected to beat the games too, “in consultation with the instructor.”
Annual tuition at MIT is almost $40,000, which works out to around $4,500 per class.

NO wonder the college graduates can’t get jobs.
What a waste!
Anybody asked Michele for her opinion on this?
Another slide:
(Keep in mind these are college courses for CREDIT!)
Tree Climbing
At Cornell University, you can fulfill your physical education requirement by taking tree climbing for $700.
“Students are excited,” said Professor Mark Holton, who teaches the class. “We have never offered a tree climbing class that has not filled to capacity. We learn how to climb into large trees — ones where you cannot reach the first branch. We also teach how to move around, go from tree to tree, and come back down safely using ropes and harnesses and various kinds of tree climbing tools.
Holton said Cornell requires physical education, and many students prefer his tree-climbing course to alternatives including bowling or skeet shooting.
“The highlight of our local class is an overnight in the trees,” he said. “We also go to Costa Rica for climbing in the jungle.”
Or anybody asked Eric Holder?
They’re all nuts.
I’m taking a U Phoenix Business Management course and I think thats iffy... gee compared to that crap my course is solid science.
What ? No Sports Officiating 1 & 2 ?
Lookie here — The College that Obama attended has a course called Stupidity.
You might be stupid yourself to dish out nearly $5,000 for this oldie but goodie that has been taught a Los Angeles’ Occidental College for years. The course description is hard to beat, saying stupidity “makes itself felt in political life ranging from the presidency to Beavis and Butthead.”
“Stupidity is neither ignorance nor organicity,” the description reads — and if you can understand that, you probably won’t end up being dissected in the course.
It costs $39,000 a year to attend Occidental, or about $4,875 per class.
Lets try to get a job....
“I studied black butts and fem sex”... “why you shut the door , fo?”
How about a course on STUPIDITY?
Yup, we have one for you!

How un-PC, everybody knows there are no Jungles, only Rain Forests. And Rain Forest Bunnies.
If you have a burning passion for Zombie, then this is the course for you!
Zombies!
“What is it about the idea of a zombie that is so deeply unsettling,” asks a $638.25 course on offer in the English department at Ole Miss.
In the class, “The Living and the Un-Dead,” students will watch zombie films, read zombie books and write a zombie research paper — which could leave zonked out college kids pulling all-nighters feeling pretty sympathetic to the living dead.
Close these courses, expell any student who signed up for them, and increase the math and science faculty.
Of course, at MIT “Video Game Studies” might actually be a useful course for computer science type students who plan to create video games...

Maybe that is part of Obama’s deep rooted problem?
BTY, here is the actual coourse description from Occidental College:
Critical Theory and Social Justice
Professor Maeda, Chair
Professors Chin, Griffin; Associate Professor Tobin; Assistant Professor Lukes
Critical Theory – Social Justice (CTSJ) is fundamentally interdisciplinary, drawing on ideas from across traditional academic disciplines. “Critical” refers to various bodies of theory and method—Marxism, psychoanalysis, the Frankfurt School, deconstruction, critical race studies, queer theory, feminist theory, postcolonial theory, and intersectionality—that interrogate the essentialist assumptions that underlie social identities. “Social justice” refers to an extrajuridical concept of fairness that is focused on exposing and ending social inequalities. The aim of the Critical Theory – Social Justice department is to promote understanding of how categories such as “race”, “sexual orientation,” and “nationality” help people recognize and combat some injustices and hinder them from recognizing and combating others.
The department’s course offerings are divided into three levels:
100-level classes teach students how to think critically about a wide range of topics, including race, gender, sexuality, and nationality.
200-level classes teach students how to participate in a seminar, including how to contribute to class discussion and how to research and write a scholarly paper.
300-level classes teach students a major body of critical theory or a research methodology.
MAJOR: The major in Critical Theory – Social Justice requires ten classes (40 units) selected in consultation with the student’s departmental advisor and including at least one at the 100 level, one at the 200 level, two at the 300 level, and the Senior Seminar (CTSJ 490). At least four of the units must be in experiential learning.
