Should the likes of women's studies, gender studies, etc. be banned from colleges/universities? (cost, party)

I don't think they should be banned but certainly NOT worthy of a college degree.

If that happened, what would idiots have for majors?

I get that they have become a stepping stone better income and therefore have become seen as a more sophisticated (and expensive) trade school, but that is still not supposed to be their primary purpose.

So, no.

Thank you.

IDK why many American think the purpose of a University education is a work permit.

Fair is fair, right?

Won't happen much as the humanities departments in virtually all universities are ran by Marxists.

I don’t believe we should be banning free thought and educational freedom at universities. That would make us just like the enemy. What we should put a stop to is requiring students to take those types of courses as a general education requirement, indoctrination is not something that we should allow.

no ban, but no federal loan support for such wackadoodle useless majors, either.

I've have never in my many years known anyone who majored in women's studies. I never saw women's studies listed in any curriculum. I actually had to look it up. Didnt know for sure if it was a real thing. I assumed it was some outdated degree from the 50' when women were discriminated against in higher education.

That said, why in the world would anyone think it a good idea to ban any curriculum/class from colleges/universities if there is a desire for it.

Government assistance should be banned from colleges

I would not ban them, but neither should the government pay for them. Government scholarship money should go to needed professions, medical, science, teacher education, police/LEO sciences, computer programming, engineering, etc.
