#1. WHEATON COLLEGE (former bastion of conservatism and Evengelical Christianity): Sociology Dept. “TOXIC MASCULINITY”. Hands down.

3. Hunter College’s ‘Bathroom Politics’

Good grief. Presume this course comes complete, with heavy focus on the labs.

Sure would be a shame if something bad happened to these "teachers" and/or their "colleges".

What about “Tree Climbing”? That was a course offered at university as well as the “The Meaning of Sh*t.”

With a Biden Presidency ALL school loans will be on us. We will be funding our own downfall.

If you are a parent paying for your child’s “education”, reduce their stipend by the exact % of their tuition of any of these classes they take. If they are taking 5 classes and 1 of these is this BS. only give them 80% of the total bill. If you pay for this crap, you support it. If your child raises a stink with you, tell them to pay for the whole thing themselves.

Un-American Activities on display.

Barely a decade since California lifted the prohibition on Communists and seditionists teaching in schools.

It has to be worse than we even imagined... What KIND of parent would go into debt to send a child to any college with those kind of courses. I guess the kind who got the same kind of education and have children now out in the cities burning and looting. What is going to prepare them for careers when they complete their education? Doesn’t anyone care?

Tree Climbing could be a useful course if you are getting a B.S. in forestry or such, but it better be in the agriculture deparment (remember, all the colleges called A&M should be teaching Agricultural and Mechanical classes) and not the physical education department.

True...but you have some control over paying for your child’s education.

I guess in Bathroom Politics we learn about the deep probing political debates that George Michaels hosted in random public restrooms.

Well 1 - 4, 6 - 8 & 10 are private. The can teach anything they want even if its nonsense. Alumni & perspective governing boards should reign that in but they won’t. Students\customers particularly at the undergraduate level should vote with their feet & go elsewhere.

5. University of Florida & 9. University of Virginia, alumni, governing boards & the state legislature should step in and stop it. That would require political courage by legislature & boards, which they don’t have. Alumni complaints can be muffled with football & basketball tickets. So it will continue. Again at the undergraduate level vote with your feet & attend elsewhere
