There is a precedent for presidents. Interns are a type of student, no?
Im in a Western Civilization course at UMSL this semester. I have always thought dates were A.D and B.C. Not anymore its CE (common era) and BCE (Before common era). What happened to Anno Domini and Before Christ?? Liberal Academia happened..
I remember one time there was an essay question that required a 3 paragraph answer. I just typed 3 paragraphs of meaningless drivel, complete with real long sentences and everything. Got an A on that paper ( I do not believe anyone even read it, just saw all the long sentences, and counted 3 paragraphs )....maybe if every student with a meaningless assignement like this one just did what I did.........
I died for beauty but was scarce Adjusted in the tomb, When one who died for truth was lain In an adjoining room.
He questioned softly why I failed? "For beauty," I replied. "And I for truth, the two are one; We brethren are," he said.
And so, as kinsmen met a night, We talked between the rooms, Until the moss had reached our lips, And covered up our names.
What they really meant.

wonder why they couldn't find a book that provides for intellectual stimulation without the sex?
(here comes the answer, folks:)
Because to liberals sexual stimulation trumps everything else.
I mean, what other adult wants to talk about sex with a captive audience of youngsters?
My college did a similar thing a couple of years ago using a book by Barbara Ehrenreich about low wage workers. Naturally, there was no conservative book to counter what old Babs wrote.
I had a discussion about this with the assoc. dean of the faculty and he suggested that any discussion of the Ehrenreich book would be balanced. I asked him: "Are you suggesting that 50% of the faculty voted for George W. Bush in the last election?" His response: Silence.
I think it exceedingly ironic that many liberal arts institutions around the nation are kept alive by very generous donations from many conservative folks.
Too often faculty members forget that the college exists for the students - not for them. No students, no college.
Of course it is ok to force homosexual material down the throats of grade school students...
I went to Ann Patchett's website and read the excerpt from this book, "Truth and Beauty." I don't know whether it's obscene, or whether it promotes some sort of homosexual agenda, or whether it's just a dull book, but I do know that the brief excerpt contains at least six grammatical errors. Perhaps the professor intended to initiate "a lively debate" on grammar. If so, that "debate" is sorely needed. Don't even get me started on the difference between "it's" and "its."
what is the content about? Since the story is not disclosing it, is it some how another homosexual agenda book?
Brave New World has sex but that is not reviled.
1984 has sex but that is not reviled.
After going through the leftist re-education camps we call colleges in the 90s, I can say that there are few, if any "insightful discussions". You either go with what your professor states, or you fail and are shouted down (without any consideration for your position). College is a good indicator for conservatives what political life is like under the left.
Freedom of speech and dissent is cherished by socialists so long and they are the only ones allowed to speak or dissent.
This book has 102 reviews on Amazon. Should be easy enough to engage in discussion without actually cracking the pages of the book, which sounded very creepy to me.
Everyone expects lesbian love stories in college now, don't they? /sarcasm
Clemson also had a "Name the Mascot Contest."
The winning name was Spot.
Education is too important.
"Over the top graphic sexual discussions" in the book are "inappropriate for shoving down (students') throats," Wingate told.
Thank goodness this good man said something.
Evil exists when good men do nothing.
There's a trend all over the country of shoving some book down students throats when they enter a college or university.
Books are often selected by committees that include (in the case of one book that got required at a college in my area)
people who are radical left all the way.
I should have thought of this when I was in undergrad. I was always offended by calculus.
