Just when you thought the state of higher education couldn’t get any lower, the Young America’s Foundation surveyed 50 major colleges to see what courses they are offering as legitimate “higher education” in the 2017-18 academic year. As is evident by a reading of the complete survey, the new religion in America— “the religion of sex”—has taken over part of the academy and made it their temple. Here’s just a small sampling of the crazy courses now being offered:
Up at Northwestern University there’s a course that typifies many being offered at campuses all over the country. It’s called, Beyond the Binary: Transgender and Race. Apparently,after thousands of years of human civilization and scientific advancement, college professors have abandoned biology and just discovered that gender and race have no scientific basis but can be changed on a whim.
True to the current fad, Medieval Sexuality, also offered at Northwestern, investigates the “fluidity of sex and gender roles in an age before ‘sexual orientation’; impact of and resistance to Christian theology’s negative assessment of sexuality; the cult of chastity.” Well, who could disagree with that? I mean, if only people would be less chaste in our society, then things would really get better. Right?
Indiana University is offering Topics In Gender Studies (We’re All A Little Crazy: Gender, Madness, & Popular Culture). (I wish I could tell you what this college course is about but the description it too profane to print.)
Not to be outclassed by Indiana, the University of Michigan is finally offering Rednecks, Queers, and Country Music (parents have been demanding it for years!), as well as Drag in America(which is now a laudable way to dress up a degree).
Amherst College has constructed The Cross-Cultural Construction of Gender, apparently without correction from the biology department.
Wellesley College offers the ever-necessary Rainbow Cowboys (and Girls): Gender, Race, Class, and Sexuality in Westerns, a course that might even earn a blush from Wellesley alum Hillary Clinton as she rides out of town.
Over at Swathmore College you can participate in Queering God: Feminist and Queer Theology. “Key themes include: gender; embodiment; masculinity; liberation; sexuality; feminist and queer theory.” If that’s not queer enough for you, don’t miss Queering the Bible. Its stated goal? “By reading the Bible with the methods of queer and trans* theoretical approaches, this class destabilizes long held assumptions about what the Bible–and religion–says about gender and sexuality.”
The University of Maryland offers Homophobia in the U.S. Society in the New Millennium, the stated goal of which is not to educate, but to activate students to take up a political crusade. Its purpose is to “focus on students' powers and responsibilities within struggles to end discrimination based on sexuality.”
Davidson College offers Oppression & Education (which ironically is not a commentary on higher education). They also list Marriage in the Age of Trump, which has nothing to do with the kind of marriage that has perpetuated and stabilized civilization since, well, it created civilization. Instead the course examines “meanings of marriage for same-sex couples, including marriage as material right, marriage as protest, and marriage as validation.”
At the University of Georgia you’ll be asked to swallow Gendered Politics of Food and adopt a completely new method of learning by taking Feminist Research Methods.
At Ole Miss, there’s this golden oldie: Sex, Gender and the Bible—an obvious staple of higher learning. (Grandma, don’t you remember taking that course while Grandpa was overseas saving civilization from the Nazis?)
Down in Sweet Home Alabama, the University of Alabama has a course called Contemporary In(queer)ies, which is about as bad as their football team is good. The allegedly more conservative Texas A&M calls a similar course Alternative Genders (whoop, whoop).
At University of Kentucky you can take – and I’m not making this up—Vampires: Evolution of a Sexy Monster. “This course answers the following questions: What is a vampire? Where do they come from? Why do we have an obsession with the walking dead, especially with fanged monsters?” (What employer couldn’t use a graduate with the answers to those puzzling questions?)
DePaul University answers another question puzzling society with Are We Still Fabulous?: Queer Identity in Contemporary Drama. Meanwhile, over at Providence College students with less pigmentation in their skin will learn that they are guilty for any perceived social inequality when they take The Power of Whiteness.
The Ivy league Brown University is apparently proud to offer Prostitutes, Mothers, + Midwives: Women in Pre-modern Europe and North America, as well as Feminist Theory for a Heated Planet which, according to the description, has something to do with “the eruption of Gaia.”
Columbia University advocates personal and political action with its course on Queer Practice, only to be outdone by another queer course at Cornell University called Nightlife, which appears to study what might or should happen at gay nightclubs.
Dartmouth is teaching The United States of Queeras well as Radical Sexuality: Of Color, Wildness and Fabulosity. (In other news, leftist sociologists remain baffled by the current wave of sexual harassment charges—what could possibly give sexual deviants justification to radically and wildly ignore traditional sexual boundaries?)
The “Women’s Gender, and Sexuality Studies Department” at Yale University is peddling Globalizing Gender and Sexuality. And the once great Harvard University (founded by John Harvard to train pastors) now offers such biblically edifying courses as Gender, Religion and Scripture and Leaning In, Hooking Up, which will “critique ideological formations of gender, particularly as bounded by race, class, and sexuality.” Indeed, it offers “new models for sexuality” that, apparently, were beyond the provincial mind of Jesus.
And that’s only a small sample of what’s being taught at just 50 schools; it's actually worse and more widespread than that.
Do you think those courses sound like elements of a quality education or more like the weekly worship services of the religion of sex? Sure, they have the ruse of education. But they are really promoting a dogmatic secularism with a kind of religious fervor intent on urging students to abandon reality and live in their own sexual fantasy world. And the culture they help justify demands that the rest of us live in their sexual fantasy world too. Their worshippers will preach “inclusion, tolerance and diversity.” But if you fail to celebrate their fantasy they’ll immediately brand you a heretic and exclude you for being “intolerant” enough to believe that there actually is a reality outside of your mind.
While conservatives believe in changing their behavior to fit reality, today’s new liberals seem hell-bent on changing reality to fit their behavior. That will not end well for them personally or our country.
Now, the professors who teach these courses may have the best of intentions. They may think that what they are doing is right and true (all the while declaring that truth and gender are relative). But you don’t have to support their dogmatic delusions. Parents and alumni: if you love your kids (and civilization) more than your football and basketball tickets, then stop giving these schools your children and your money.
fta... stop giving these schools your children and your money.
*************************
And end the myth that everyone must have a college degree!
Trade school grads often earn more annually than liberal college grads and are able to provide services that are actually needed.
Omg, the so-called higher education is gone totally to the gutter.
“Over the line!”

Are We Still Fabulous?: Queer Identity in Contemporary Drama
Am I the only one to find this article very queer? /sarc
Coming next: A course on “Man or Mouse: Which One Are You”, created by PETA.
Another political science course: “The Walking Dead: The US Congress from 2008-2017”.
Course: “Does Alien Life Exist on Earth ? - Case Studies of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, Lena Dunham and Michael Moore”.
Course: “The Washington Post: How It Won a Pulitzer Prize for Science Fiction Writing in the National News Category”.
Course: “How to Spot Fake Writing: Analyses of the Writings of Barack Obama, John Kerry, and Hillary Clinton”
One can only hope there is a youthful rebellion against this brainwashing or else America is screwed.
Pretty clear why Shillery did better with the college educated. I’d say the hell with college but society does need doctors and lawyers and such.
Soon they will need a course called Why Your College Degree is worthless and you are Unemployed!
After this sht I do not want to hear anything about some metoo campaign. You ask for abortion and deviant classes to protect the character of rapists, you will get the rapists.
Tired of taking care of the mental health of people who want to binge
on unhealthy content
PC was creeping into things when I was in college, but overall, since I studied a real major, the bullsh*t quotient wasn’t there. Although I did have a “alternative type ‘female’” professor in a humanities class, “Film Appreciation”, that absolutely graded male students a letter grade lower than female students. A group of about 7-8 guys compared our grades to those of the chicks and the bias was palpable: Several chicks passed in handwritten crap with spelling and grammatical errors and they got higher grades than guys (including me) that passed in typed, error free papers.
I put more time into that class than my Physics class I had the same semester. Should have formally complained, but figured I’d just slog through it, get the credits and be done. In retrospect, we should have gone after that man hating dyke.
Being a student nowadays? Ugh.
The line is an instrument of the patriarchy and has been stripped away.

Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."
Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.
Leviticus niv
18:22 Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.
20:13 If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.
2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.
1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
But there IS hope!!!
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...
” Man Hating Dyke” ? I’ve run into a few in Hollywood. Not since, but I stay off college campus areas .
Merry Christmas to all. Healing up fine. Back next year.
Yeah...those types are to be avoided like a minefield.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and everyone.
