I’ve considered getting a degree in history since I’m retired. However, I reckon I’d be thrown out of most classes for refusing to submit to their PC-ness.
Funny, I considered doing the same thing. Also helps that I've been volunteering at the County Historical Archives for years now. I also decided against it for the same reason you give.
What would be great is to have a degree program that uses "professors" solely to make sure that the material you are studying makes sense for the degree. Nothing more, nothing less.
