THE "DIRTY DOZEN" list of "America's Most Bizarre and Politically Correct College Courses".

No. 1 slot this year for bizarre class offerings went to Occidental, for a course called "The Phallus." No, it's not a biology course. It's a survey, offered by Oxy's department of critical theory and social justice, of "feminist and queer takings-on of the phallus." Topics include "the relation between the phallus and the penis, the meaning of the phallus, phallologocentrism, the lesbian phallus, the Jewish phallus, the Latino phallus, and the relation of the phallus and fetishism."

Also Occidental will offer the course that the Young America's Foundation rated No. 5 in bizarreness: "Blackness." This class will explore "new blackness," "critical blackness," "post-blackness," "unforgivable blackness" and "queer blackness."

UCLA won the coveted No. 2 slot on the list, with "Queer Musicology."

At Cornell [!!!], "Cyberfeminism" (No. 10) explores someone's discovery that -- surprise, surprise -- women use computers!

Что за фигня, право?

Ну а чего мы хотим? Платят профессуре мало, спрашивают строго. Эти курсы генерального образования - их еще выиграть надо. Выигрывает тот, кто больше соотвествует всем 147 правилам diversity, integrity and political correctness.а там уж не до литературы с историей...

А я и не знал, что это особая привилегия.
