So now it’s not just porn, but comic book porn?

Parents, is this the literature course you want for your freshmen at Duke?

people are going into debt to read lesbo porn.

an aleternative...the trade schools. 2 years learn a trade that pays good. Just paid a washing repair guy $200 and I was one of many of his clients that day.

Members of the board of trustees do have to be approved by one of the Methodist conventions.

If they quit rubber stamping appointees they could seize control of the university back.

That they did not do so after the LaCrosse fiasco proves that this stuff is in line with the people in the denomination.

re: But others from the class of 2019 responded, “Reading the book will allow you to open your mind to a new perspective and to examine a way of life and thinking with which you are unfamiliar.”

I can just guess how open these students would be to being asked to read from the Bible so they could “open your mind to a new perspective and to examine a way of life and thinking with which you are unfamiliar.” Yeah. Right. That would be so offensive and an example of cramming religion down their throat. But lesbians sex? Just mind opening.

That caught my attention, too. Pay Duke’s tuition to have your student “reading” homosexual porn comic books.

"“Reading the book will allow you to open your mind to a new perspective and to examine a way of life and thinking with which you are unfamiliar.”"

That's not a very good argument.

The author of this is a Rachel Maddow look-alike.

It's interesting to see how much the way she dresses and grooms herself looks like her representation of her father in the image above.

The university says the assignment was optional and won’t discipline the holdouts.

Typical lib tactic. Introduce something and gauge the reaction. Then issue a non-apology apology and briefly retreat. Then round up useful idiots to protest against "discrimination" and introduce the subject matter by brute force.

its a responsibility for them and sadly, so many are failing at it....

RginTN — exactly. Go into debt for this? Get into the trades, earn good money, and buy yourself some books to read at home. Porn is not literature. It is just filth. duh.

Is it necessary for them to attend this course? Can’t they enroll in another one?

Just drop it and move on.

I'm with you! The investment is smaller and the return, far greater. We need appliance repairmen, cabinet makers, carpenters, plumbers and auto repairmen.

I fix technology for some people on the side and can make that.

Fixing a washing machine would be safer than being Jim Rockford for 200 dollars.

I’m encouraging my children, even the really smart ones, to consider learning a trade. It’s a guarantee of employment.

Too bad our grammar school kids can’t toss the “I’ve got two mommies” books they’re being fed.
