Dr. Richard Lee, a professor at St. Bonaventure University’s Jandoli School of Communication designed the course and will teach it. According to the university, Lee views the class as an opportunity to integrate the elements from his career in journalism, government, and academia.
“From the protest music of the 1960s to the phenomena of Taylor Swift, pop culture has been a part of daily life in America,” said Dr. Lee.

Someone taking that course now (along with Ending Toxic Male Supremacy and Theories of Post 20th Century Feminism) will someday be the President of Harvard.

...you beat me to the keyboard.....a degree in this course of study would be about as useful as a Master’s degree in Mid-19th Century East-African Lesbian Poetry .....no wonder our higher education industry is the laughingstock to the world....

Looking at the crap that’s coming to light tells me that The Lord is revealing all of the garbage that’s going on and leaving it up to us to choose which side we are on. Sort of like separating the sheep from the goats.

Harvard was the alma mater of Phyllis Schlafly but that was of course 70 plus years ago before the “Plagiarian Era”
