After some 20 years of teaching mostly minority youth Greek, Latin, and ancient history and literature in translation (1984-2004), I came to the unfortunate conclusion that ethnic studies, women studies—indeed, anything “studies”— were perhaps the fruits of some evil plot dreamed up by illiberal white separatists to ensure that poor minority students in the public schools and universities were offered only a third-rate education.
How true. All those studies - Women's, African-American, Chicano, etc - are hideouts for academic frauds. I cite Cornel West as the outstanding example.
Any subject with "Science" in its name is not science, and any subject with "Studies" in its name is not worth studying.
