“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.”
Then the students should read Mein Kampf and the works of Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi. Only the homos get to ‘expand minds’ eh?
Grrrrlllzzzz gotta troll and cruise. How do you think they get "dates"?
Ptui.
“It was like Duke didn’t know we existed, which surprises me.”
They know you exist. They just hate you. So why are you giving them tens of thousands of your dollars?

Same here, I just paid a plumber $90 to look at my water heater for 2 minutes, and then tell me I needed a new one!
Vile content aside, why is a supposedly prestigious university assigning graphic novels as a reading requirement?
Bake The Cake!
And this is one of the milder indignities paying students are subjected to. Even though this is insulting and worthless, it gets a LOT worse.
Lol! Water heaters last about 10 years. When mine was replaced, the plumber deducted the cost of the initial visit from the total replacement fee.
I would add business classes to the trade school with a plan to build a business. If you have a teenager, have him watch Blue COllar Millionaires on CNBC. He or she will discover their are other ways to be successful, and wildly so.
Kudos to this young man. These university goons would run into a burning building with a can of gasoline before they would promote a book with Judeo-Christian values. Yet they will push this type of filth any day of the week.
She dresses like her father? Hmm, interesting. She looks like pajama boy, too.
What is this comic rated? I assume they don’t let minors buy it.
Tried to look up the comic’s rating. This site gives it NC-17. Interesting panel shown. The dad says he wanted to be a girl, and dressed up in girl’s clothes. The girl says she wanted to be a boy (says she dressed in boy’s clothes: how can she tell? Did she buy boy’s underwear?) Sounds like the dad was a tranny, not homosexual. Explains why the girl became a lesbian, being raised by a fruitcake.

Yeah, imagine what would they would say if the Bible was on the reading list.
More bad pub for The Gang of 88 U.
And if your trade is really in demand, industry will pay most of your tuition. I’m training for a second career as a CNC machinist, and nearly all my tuition is paid by industry scholarships.
These religious colleges students who refuse to read a book that was assigned to them are no better or worse than students on the political left who refuse to read certain books that were assigned to them. Just because you are assigned to read a book doesn’t mean you have to like it. What it does mean is that you are supposed to be exposed to ideas that are different from your regular way of thinking, even if you end up hating the book after reading it. I don’t want to support these religious students in their boycott for the same reason I don’t want to support students on the radical left who refuse to read certain books.
