No Diane Sawyer, no Vanity Fair.
It was the summer of 1976. As Bruce Jenner, 26, was celebrating his decathlon victory at the Montreal Olympics, Phillip Frye, 28, was admitting defeat in suppressing his gender identity. He, becoming she, had already lost a lot: He had been forced to resign from the military for “sexual deviation.” He had been disowned by his parents, divorced by his first wife and separated from his son. He had been dismissed from several engineering jobs.

No one with a journalism degree should be allowed to distribute information to the public, because they are generally liberal activists, and will turn any information into propaganda.
Engineering/Science degrees will limit access to relatively sane people.
I suspect it may not be the ones you'd most like to see gone.
“Engineering/Science degrees will limit access to relatively sane people.”
Sound like a good idea, it is currently a gay-dominated culture full of sniveling pajama boys (Communist pajama boys, at that!;)
