The classroom environment at Berkeley is so hostile to women, people of color, queer folks and other marginalized subjects without my words of wisdom that it is difficult for students to focus on course material!

[Uncle Miltie]

I hear Socrates swung both ways .....

..... does that count?

[hlmencken3]

Well, those Greek guys were pederasts. That ought to count for SOMETHING.

[Disambiguator]

Talk about first world problems. And that picture is very disturbing.

[Responsibility2nd]

History is racist, bigoted and homophobic.

Damn all them evil white people for inventing stuff.

[TexasFreeper2009]

classical social theory

um.. earth to idiots! Of course CLASSICAL studies is only going to cover the works of white men!

The modern college "experience":

[stephenjohnbanker]

Due to a clerical error,two students at the University of California, Berkeley who are too stupid to live, let alone matriculate, have been suspended by the provost. Details at 11......

[AppyPappy]

How do they know they weren’t transgenders?

[Red Badger]

They are Occupied with Priapus..........

[Opinionated Blowhard]

The most amazing part of this story to me is that Berkeley still has a course that teaches Plato and Aristotle.

“We at Jerkly. We wannabe stupid.”

[IronJack]

The course syllabus employed a standardized canon of theory that ...

... elaborated on the works of history's great thinkers instead of some latter-day flash-in-the-pan nobodies who will not be remembered a day after they're dead.

[KC_Lion]

I have lived my life around the teachings of Marx.

[Kenny Bunk]

FYI, and for the offended of Berkeley:
immediately transfer to Yale, which has announced a new course for next term:
Francophone Transgendered Poets of West Africa.
This is an update of the course offered in my day, "Francophone Lesbian Poets of West Africa."

Do you think we are discussing the same poets?

[mjp]

all of whom are white men,”

Ayn Rand should be included

[GeronL]

More insanity

[spokeshave]

Maybe they could add Bodecia, Joan of Arc and the heroic Greek Women of Zalongo

The Dance of Zalongo (Greek: Χορός του Ζαλόγγου, Horos tou Zalongou) was a mass suicide of women from Souli and their children during the Souliote War of 1803, near the village of Zalongo in Epirus, in the then-Ottoman Empire

The accompanying video song complete with English language subtitles should be mandatory.

[I want the USA back]

What idiots.
If there were any “transgenders” in ancient times, they weren’t writing books on philosophy.

[bboop]

Duh, you have your whole life to read that stuff. Duh!
