We are clearly a nation with too much money, too much time, and not enough serious challenges.

Does anybody actually know a person who has taken such a worthless class? Would you let your kids enroll in such worthless classes?

and not enough serious challenges.

"Occidental professor Jeffrey Tobin, who is teaching the course this spring semester."
What a phallus is this professor Tobin.

I heard it was a hard course.

"I got an A in Phallus 101"

I wrote a book in which the word "penis" appeared 99 times.

The word "phallus" appeared once.

I guess I would have flunked this course.

If I had enrolled in such classes, and my Father received the bill, my university career would have been very brief indeed!

The author was absolutely dead-on with her assessment that CAREFULLY crafted courses of study have been traded for a hodge-podge of meaningless B.S. The new style "touchy-feely" classes don't teach anything but pseudo-academic double-speak--and they certainly don't prepare anyone for a meaningful vocation! I don't see this changing unless/until corporations start complaining that they can't find acceptable management prospects! Oops. Sorry, I think that's already happening, isn't it? Its the reason we need so many foreign tech/management worker visas issued every year.

I was pleased to see, though, that the article was in the LA Times. I almost fainted!

I'm very proud of the fact that I took too courses in slang in college. They certainly were a lot more interesting than the Keynesian economics and (socialist) poly sci courses I endured.

I didn't even know it was a class; here I was, all these years, doing my own independent research! :)

Good work. Keep it up!

Oxy's department of critical theory and social justice

Can you imagine this department's staff meetings? Talk about a miserable assembly of the world's most perpetually pissed-off people . . .

Does anybody actually know a person who has taken such a worthless class?

Yes, and their parents are brainless liberals, so it wasn't a surprise.

Would you let your kids enroll in such worthless classes?

When my kids pay their own way to college, they can take all the worthless courses they want. But not as long as I'm paying.

[Aquinasfan]

Who's the idiot, the school or the parent paying for this?

[Michael Bluth]

I'm quite sure there a a number of people (I have a brother-in-law named Tobias who comes to my mind) whose interest in such a course would be pricked.

[toddlintown]

Sounds like a hard course.

Phallocracy is another academia nut word. It gets about 1000 hits on Google.
