Penn State Math Course Focuses on Hillary Clinton’s ‘Strong Character’

A new math course at Penn State University this semester has a bizarre focus on Hillary Clinton’s “strong character.”

According to a report from Campus Reform, a new math course at Penn State University focuses on everything besides math. Professor Marc Fabbri’s “Finite Mathematics” course covers everything from Hillary Clinton’s “strong character” to the “cultural intolerance” to President Lyndon Baines Johnson’s Clean Water Act.

On the Penn State website, Fabbri’s course is described as an “introduction to logic, sets, probability.” But students who took Fabbri’s new course last spring say that the course is focused on other topics.

Take for example the following excerpt from a text provided to students by Fabbri. “The emergence of the Tea Party played a central role in the 2008 U.S. presidential election,” the document reads. “The victor was Barack Obama who, like Bill Clinton, served as U.S. president for 8 years — the two men guided always by the strength of character and force of intellect of First Lady Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton.”

In another section of the document, Fabbri asks students to explain why the following statement is incorrect: “all those who enjoy religious freedom promote cultural toleration.” That portion of the document was accompanied by a scholarly criticism of imperialism.

Must be an easy A if you praise Hillary.

Question # 2: Hillary entered into a contract in which she agreed to pay a consultant $1 million dollars. She paid him $100,000 so far. How much more will she pay him?

The premise is wrong....she doesn't pay anything!!!!

Not as much as the Mathematics Dept.

Confusing logic with opinion is the most elementary mistake a logician could make. Even saying that 7 is smaller than 5 is essentially just a dumb error. His errors are about the worst ever displayed in the realm of logic.

I suspect that the prof is trying to get a co-ed to sleep with him. I know this isn’t logic, but a personal opinion, but at least it’s a sensible one.

Seems fitting. They taught anal sex at their football program.

One of my cousins was a professor at one of the Penn colleges until about 2 decades ago. He taught engineering and architecture combined.

As he was getting ready to retire, the liberals were taking over even the hard sciences like his. He retired early.

At about the same time one of his younger relatives with a real engineering degree, resigned from an old time construction western states company. They told him introduce his former secretary as a construction project manager to his customers and potential customers. He refused to do that.
