The Dirty Dozen
America's Most Bizarre and Politically Correct College Courses

Princeton University's Prostitute, Cross Dressing, and Same-Sex

Eroticism

Course ranked the most bizarre Class

HERNDON, VA - 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.

1.. Princeton University's The Cultural Production of Early Modern

Women

examines "prostitutes," "cross-dressing," and "same-sex eroticism" in

16th -

and 17th - century England, France, Italy and Spain (emphasis added).

You know what they say about people having jobs tailored to fit their
credentials?

2.. 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."
Waa-ahh!

6.. Harvard University's Marxist Concepts of Racism examines "the role

of

capitalist development and expansion in creating racial inequality"
(emphasis added). Although Karl Marx didn't say much on race, leftist
professors in this course extrapolate information on "racial oppression"

and

"racial antagonism."

Agimg Red Diaper Babies flogging their pet dead horse...

7.. Occidental College-making the Dirty Dozen list twice-offers a

course

in Stupidity,

As if college campuses don't give out enough PhD's in that field already?

12.. Students enrolled in the University of Michigan's Topics in

Literary

Studies: Ancient Greek/Modern Gay Sexuality have the pleasure of reading

a

"wide selection of ancient Greek (and a few Roman) texts that deal with
same-sex love, desire, gender dissidence, and sexual behavior."

I'm sure some of the gay profs offer private tutoring in Greek as well...
:O|
