What does a degree in diversity qualify you to do?

Diverse things, such as organizing, protesting, and generally raising the consciousness of others.

Fried chicken, sweet potatoe fries, and watermelon should be on that Home Ec curriculum. Don’t forget arugula for the watermelon!

“What does a degree in diversity qualify you to do?

Go into government and make a fool of yourself.”

Let’s make that:
What does a degree in diversity qualify you to do?

Go into government and waste other peoples money.

And after the diversity education all of those sandwiches will be made with marble rye.

They only require one semester of science and that’s too much?

And they’ll require two semesters of a foreign language? That’s about enough to figure out how to punch 2 for English.

If they don’t take science, it will be much easier to fool them with the next round of global cooling, warming, climate change.

Eventually, those pushing global climate change will have enough useful idiots to get government to fund their endeavors. Claiming a consensus of scientists is easier than showing facts and figures. [Aren’t many of those records that do not support the global climate change theories being destroyed?]

‘Yeah, Sweety. You don’t need science. You don’t need to fill your pretty little head with that junk.’

There’s a reason that this school has been called Barnyard for many decades. It got it the old fashoined way, it earned it.

Isn't that what these liberal Ivy League schools want? The return to the age of witch doctors, rattles, masks, beads, magic powder, and spells? Go forward by going back to man's roots in superstition and ignorance. Just like their love of the 7th century death cult of Islam. The secularist humanists and atheists think the return to Big Ju Ju Magic is the antidote to modern science and technology THEY cannot understand and refuse to learn. it's a perfect belief system for Ivy League Luddites and the associated morons in higher education today.

I certainly hope that Rebekah does not decide to run for political office. we don’t need another Debbie W-S, or Jen Psaki, or Marie Harf.

They’re pursuing indoctrination and ignorance vs real knowledge. Learning a foreign language, Spanish for me, gave at least some insight into Hispanic cultures. Indeed, in today’s USA, four semesters of Spanish would give any of those young ladies a good way to relate to Hispanic people she’s very likely to meet and have to relate to in her post-college life.

College level science courses are good, too, since they give students the knowledge they need to evaluate political claims about science. I took biology,chemistry, and physics in HS, and followed up with geology in college. That science background showed that all sciences are not exact, earth sciences like geology being the most inexact, controversial and speculative. In turn, that knowledge enabled me to see what a frightful Marxist superstition the whole “global warming” hoax is.

You’re so right. Any reasonable science education that includes biology, chemistry, physics, and geology goes a long way to providing the knowledge that enables any reasonably smart person to realize that global warming “science” is so much self-serving Marxist superstition.

It will help these women integrate into ISIS should they seek employment as “wives” to the terrorists.

It’s all about women going to college so they can meet their future husband.

They ought to change the name from “Barnard College” to “Barnyard College” if they do that. Those of you who are in your mid-sixties will likely remember Jerry Rubin and his ilk and will know that an additional word can be inserted between “Barnyard” and “College” by the leftists.
