So true.
I studied Engineering at Syracuse University. My roommate was pre-med.
In the hard sciences, and in most business schools, you find true academics.
The "Queer Theory" majors are a joke - along with all the other so-called "Studies."
I told this story on FR before, but I remember trying to cram for my Thermodynamics final one Saturday, and my concentration was broken by this horrible moaning sound coming from the dorm day room.
I walked down there, and discovered a dozen "Women's Studies" majors lying on their backs, bent at the knees, and legs apart, moaning and chanting gibberish.
When I asked what they were doing, I was told they were simulating giving spiritual "rebirth to the Egyptian goddess Isis."
Thanks for the note of support. The problem is that the 80% of liberals/progressives give the 20% a bad name.
I don't have a clue why so many universities offer useless courses spouting political drivel. In my book it is a crime and scam to offer courses and degrees that have nothing to do with preparing students for the job market.
On another note; in my experience "cramming" for a thermo exam was a big mistake. I had thermo in physical chemistry and having an exam with 4 questions typically required at least 2-3 nights of hard study. I went from Chemistry to DVM with a specialty in toxicology.
Well, isn't that special!
I guess it depends on what the meaning of Isis.
