Intercultural Communications class

This is likely a course of study leading to a "want fries with that?" opportunity.....

I'm a little surprised by how many people are expressing this sentiment. I was in school in the '90s and even then, courses like this were part of my university's core curriculum. You'd have a major and take the courses required by your department, but you couldn't graduate without some variant of women's/race studies or "intercultural awareness." The women's and race studies classes were blatantly intended as indoctrination, but the course catalogs always made the awareness classes sound interesting and pertinent. It wasn't until you were actually in the class being asked to write essays using only modern source material about how "Jews and Christians never really believed in God, it was just how they expressed their culture," that the agenda became apparent.

Thank you for pointing that out. Department Chairs responsible for the Course Catalog defend their department just like any other government agency. Most people, duck their head hold their nose, and go along to get the degree.
