“In short, this is a class that traces the relationship between Beyoncé’s artistic genius and Black intellectual practice,” the course description states. It will be launched in the spring.

It can’t come close to the “political, cultural impact” of Tater Swuft.

A prime example of how worthless a college degree can be.

I loath “elite educational institutions.” They are pompous ignorant effeminate perfumed princes / princesses. They make Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI look good in comparison.

They are nothing near educated and strut their indoctrination around in ignorant arrogance, deserving of a painful and destructive end.

And this type of thing (besides milk and cookies) is why most serious employers simply don’t consider “Ivy League” to mean much of anything — except maybe “don’t know how to work arrogant know-nothing wimps.”

I’ve heard her name. I’m assuming she’s a singer. Oh, yeah. Huge cultural impact.

Will Yale be offering this as an online course? If so, I’m definitely in!

Oh, wait. It’s at the same time when I was going to watch paint dry. So I’ll have to pass.

Yale isn’t stupid.

Classes like this are cheap to run and are high margin.

Caveat emptor, students.

I’m trying to resolve the conflict of Beyoncé’s “Put a Ring on It” with the 4B movement.

I majored in Beyonce! I majored in Swift! On the other hand I’m old school and I majored in the classics.....Elvis and the Beatles among others. :)

Fools and their money are easily parted.

These courses should not, by law, be eligible for any federal student grant or loan.

> A prime example of how worthless a college degree can be. <

In one building you will have students taking a Beyoncé class. In the next building over, graduate students are working in a physics research lab. Two entirely different worlds.

Now here’s the scary thing. The Beyoncé students will all be Americans. The physics lab will have a high percentage of foreigners, including Chinese.

We can still beat China long-term, but only if the struggle is limited to a discussion of American pop culture.

Not as much as they planned, considering what just happened.
