Hey, it's a free country. If they want to offer that awesome class to people taking fluff classes en route to a lifetime working at Starbucks then that's their business.

It's a 1 unit course - total cost $396. It's a weekend course. Sounds pretty interesting.

"...offered through SDSU’s extended studies program and is meant for the general public."

Uh, no... it's a public university. It doesn't work that way.

If a private university wants to offer passive-aggressive, backstabby courses like this, that's their business.

It's actually a study in the case to impeach a president. It just so happens to be Trump at the moment. Per the actual article shared (which I'm guessing you didn't bother to read) - it actually reviews all 19 impeachments in US History.

“The course presents an overall framework of impeachment, removal, or criminal investigation of a president and rather than focusing on President Trump, reviews all 19 impeachments in U.S. history. The one-unit, weekend class is not a requirement for graduation and is not paid for by state funds,” the university told Fox News. Cleary did not respond to Fox News’ request for comment on Tuesday.

Then they should do it on the only President impeached in living memory, Bill Clinton.

Not only was Bill Clinton impeached, but he is also an accused rapist.

Certainly there is a college course that can be made from that.

Oh give me a break.

This is a classic example of what liberals do... create something based on a vague topic to make it appear as though you aren't targeting anything specific, but make the topic entirely relevant to the specific target you had in mind, and time it so that you can influence the right people at the right time.

People aren't stupid. This class was created for you know who.

If you have ever taken a political science or even law class - you would know this isn't true.

There are entire classes around the impeachment of Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton - examining the minutia of what happened.

A classic example of what Fox News does is completely LIE about the class - which, of course, you fell for.

Yeah? Try finding a job with only a high school diploma and see how you do.

Lol, keep spinning buddy

Fox posted a link to their source (an actual SDSU webpage). The description of the course is very specific, and targeted.
