Incest — the next “civil rights cause of our time”
“More Duke University tolerance,”
Like they “tolerated” the ball players so well....
“spark a discussion”
...that’s complete and utter bulls$$! They’ll never try and “spark a discussion” with anything written by Beck, Palin etc. If it’s perverted sh**, they’re all over it.
I’d make Moby Dick the “recommended summer reading” for incoming freshmen every year—and those who couldn’t pass a test on it, including the chapter on cetology, would get booted to a state school.
Conversation: "Our parents were right. We have entered a den of unimaginable perversion." End of discussion.
Typical liberal stunt: rub everyone’s snout in filth just to “start a conversation.”
Then what's the problem? If the book offends your religious views then you don't read it. If it offends your personal beliefs then you don't read it. Either way your beliefs are not compromised and your grade isn't affected.
A graphic novel? For the uninitiated, that means comic book.
I used a “Classic Comics” for the basis of a fifth grade book report in 1971. I was informed that comic books were not “literature.”
Times have changed.
“graphic novel “ aka comic book
Duke University assigns comic books? That says volumes about their students and instructors.
My 11 year old and I are doing Shakespeare and have been since she was 8. Yes, she can read a comic book for entertainment. She read one for her home schooling about Smedley Butler.

We stumbled across it in the library. I read it which sparked her interest. A little odd, but it led to other things.
.....so, it was read by no one.
I was in college, once, too. "Optional" means "Skip past this one".
Jeez, what 19 year old says, "Well, I could go do about anything fun that I wanted, or I could sit here and do this useless optional reading. Hmmm. What to do, What to do?"
Ever notice how when it is a liberal type book (gay/trans/socialist/communist/women’s lib/race) it must be read or permitted in order to “foster discussion”. BUT, all conservative books must be banned, cause we can’t have discussion about them.
I think they mean it's a comic book. And Duke costs what, $50K a year?!
Go figure, college ignored conservatives. Universities these days seem to feel like it is their duty to expose students to the most vile crap under the guise of “diversity”.
