Tulane University will offer a course called “Feminism after Trumplandia” during the spring semester. The course, which will be taught by English Professor Kate Baldwin, will focus on the plight of women in a “post-Trump” America. The professor claims: “It is not a politically-partisan course.”
According to a report by Campus Reform, Tulane University will offer a course about feminism in the age of Donald Trump during the upcoming spring semester. The course, which was been taught by Professor Kate Baldwin in the past, has been redesigned for the upcoming semester to address the “inauguration of a new administration.”
The course description suggests that students will analyze Donald Trump’s presidency in light of various hot-button social issues such as abortion, the “Muslim ban,” and transgenderism.
When Donald Trump became the 45th president of the United States, many worried that a new era of precarity for women had begun. The defunding of Planned Parenthood, the Muslim ban, assault on pro-choice legislation, rescinding of protections for transgender students, the President’s own history of sexual assault—to name only a few—all seemed to present an unprecedented dystopia for women across the political spectrum. Indeed, as we anticipate the inauguration of a new administration, how can we begin to make sense of the events of his reign?
Despite the charged nature of the course description, Baldwin said in an interview that the course is non-political. “It is not a politically-partisan course,” Baldwin said. “It is more about the movement of feminism from 1950 onward and trying to chart how it has changed under the Trump administration.”

“It is not a politically-partisan course” Sure it isn’t. And I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn I can sell you.
Sounds like a good use of Student Loans.
You’re lookin’ at this all wrong.
You sign up, act like you care, go to a drum circle or two and make your move.
Repeat.
So everything big media, big tech, and big academia do is partisan. It is either hardwired or as dna embedded.
They have lost their collective minds. Tulane was always liberal but this trend is nonsense.

Will they explain how women’s sports are being ruined by insecure, narcissists, pretending they’re women?
Bring back Huey Long
Whatever “feminism” used to mean, it now means “women good, men bad.”
Wasted days and wasted nights studying for that kind of degree. Those used to be known as Boutique Elective Courses, sort of like Beer Making and You!
“The Handmaid’s Tale” will probably be mandatory reading.
A Handmaid’s Tale is The Protocols of the Elders of Zion for Christians

I hope they charge plenty of dough to anyone stupid enough to take their course.
The Course is designed for morons that like to piss away their loan money on idiotic feel good BS.
Will Tara Reid be a guest speaker?
All tests will consist of 20 yes or no questions all questions are variations on “do you hate Trump” theme.
Just a no brainer “A” grade course to keep dumb$dhits GPA’s up so there is no expelling these cretins.
And when students get this useless degree, they will expect working people to pay off their debt.
That book only makes sense if it were to be about Islam.
When their analyzing the Muslim ban should I wear my “Islam is Right about Women” shirt?
Agreed. But liberal sensibilities don’t allow for that comparison anymore. I’ve had people in book discussion groups scream at me when they equated “Trump’s America” to the Handmaid’s Tale and I said no, “ISIS and Boko Haram are far better real world examples.”
