California requires ethnic studies for university system

As a 1976 Revelle College, UCSD grad, it's disappointing to hear about that kind of trash on campus. Revelle had a "fine arts" requirement that I satisfied by taking a production class that presented a play called "Blood Wedding". We built all the props in addition to reviewing the literature behind the play.

An interesting aside to my class. The director of the play was Eric Christmas. If the name doesn't ring a bell, grab a copy of the Porky's video. Eric Christmas played the high school principal.

There were some unavoidable hazards. The French literature humanities class came bundled with a cute blond French TA who was a flaming communist. She had first shot at grading an essay required in the class. She put a C on mine. A disagreement between my extremely conservative view and hers. I took it to the professor. He said, "This is no a C paper". He graded it A. The left was infiltrating UCSD even in the early 70s.
