[Chris]

As tuition rates climb to an average of over $21,000 per year, today’s college students study prostitution, teeth whitening, and Beavis and Butthead. The following Dirty Dozen highlights the most bizarre and troubling instances of leftist activism supplanting traditional scholarship in our nation’s colleges and universities. .... full article (http://www.yaf.org/press/12_21_05.html)

I saw a news article on this JUST THIS MORNING.

Check this one out:


The Unbearable Whiteness of Barbie: Race and Popular Culture in the United States at Occidental College in California explores ways “which scientific racism has been put to use in the making of Barbie [and] to an interpretation of the film The Matrix as a Marxist critique of capitalism.”

That is a COURSE at a University! WOW, what a way to blow 70 grand. It's absolutely ridiculous. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y142/xenocrates/Smilies/twitch.gif

[Chris]

they need some of these idle courses in jamaica.I'm sure that these courses are more than just idle, they're meant to warp the minds of the students.

[Juliet]

They actually have material for an entire course for those topics? What gets me is that the standard of education is so low and the content so corruptible and nonsensical at most of these American Universities; yet there are so many requirements just to get in one! I hope U.W.I. doesnt follow this nonsense...:eusa_naug

Aye caramba. :rolleyes:

[Temptress]

This is not surprising at all. Americas education system is a total joke. I wonder who's funding these studies and what the big picture is because there has to be more to this foolishness.

The writers of that article have a rightist agenda. See how many times they attack the left and Marxists as being the cause of these campus courses.

Well we can’t expect any better, the president has successfully maintained his image as an intellectually challenged buffoon. If Barbie and Ken getting divorced was big news story in “04” then there’s no telling what will be next.

Better yet Ramesh...are students force to go to these classes? One would think that they didn't have a choice but they do. So blaming the university or the course doesn't make sense.

Just like how there are so called left wing courses I am sure there are many right wing courses too. The good old US of A isn't lacking in right wingers.

And we all know that the President ain't a lefty so what does that tell us? :icon_mrgr

- Nope. They're available as course electives. Curious students who have nothing more wholesome to do with their time will patronize the courses out of sheer curiosity. That's one of the ways in which perfectly normal, but impressionable kids, go to college in the US and come home to tell their parents that they're gay... :rolleyes:

And then the "Recruiters" brainwash them into thinking that "gayness" is genetically predicated.

Word To the Wise: Studying in the US? Send your kids to Liberty University (http://www.liberty.edu/). It's excellent wholesome Christian / conservative education for your young uns. That's where I'd send a kid of mine if they wanted to study overseas. It's accredited right up there with the Ivy Leaguers - and they don't even have to be believers. But they sure as ever won't get brainwashed with this liberal tripe.

It'd be better for them to be brainwashed with good and wholesome things. Wouldn't y'all say? :icon_mrgr

Yes I am aware they are elective courses.

Impressionable kids? By the time they get to college most are no longer impressionable kids, they are drinking adults who do whatever they choose to do. As for brainwashing them into homosexuality, again by the time they get to university most of them have already declared themselves homos.

Secondly, they are only recently teaching about homosexuality in the schools and it's mostly to teach about tolerance.

If there is one thing I know is that irrespective of where you send your kids, whatever they want to learn they will learn. They don't need school to teach them when they have access to the Internet.

AK,
That is oh so true. No matter where you send your child whether to an overseas university or not,the most important thing is what they learned in their formative years...from say 2-13yrs of age. I am particularly referring to strong moral values and discipline instilled by parents/guardians. There are individuals from Jamaica who,even though their economic circumstances,etc was low,they had the determination,drive and discipline that allowed them not to be distracted from them achieving their goals. It all comes back to having good parental control and guidance consistently from very early in a child's growth and development.
