The theme of all such therapeutic curricula is relativism. There are no eternal truths, only passing assertions that gain credence through power and authority.

I study mathematics and engineering. Unfortunately for the liberals, it is nearly impossible to make relativist such coursework as Linear Algebra, Data Structures, and Algorithms.

A large percentage of the worthwhile undergraduate majors left in most universities, are in majors with a quantitative emphasis.

Engineering, the real sciences (typically ones that don’t have “science” in the name), accounting, finance, etc.

"I study mathematics..."

Funny when you consider what folks in your field contribute and how little those who enjoy the fruits thereof know of those subjects......Simple one, sports fans in a stadium who could never design/build the same but think those guys on the field are the be all/end all of things. Yeh, I know, unabashedly in favor of "brains."

Give them time. We once thought that the weather couldn't be politicized too, but now we have the anthropogenic Global Warming myth.

First, they’re exclusive and under-represent the under-privileged; they also lead to higher rates of failure among the traditionally oppressed and contribute to the already high suicide rate among minority students; they are used by the rich and unnaturally gifted to segregate society by forming secret societies within the ranks of unprepared innocent newcomers who are shunned at every turn and slink back to the depths of the intellectual ghetto.

The course work should be made inclusive of all and degrees should be reserved for the non-totalitarian, empowering curricula.
