I'd love to see where you draw the line as to what is a real discipline and what isn't - - I'm guessing it's illuminating.

Not only was she treated professionally and courteously, but the police even offered to drive her to work. People like her are the reason that the very small percentage of drivers who are actually mistreated by police will not be believed.

They should jail those individuals that make such fraudulent claims. It appears as though these are becoming more and more common; such events make "black lives matter" look absurd.

I would say that physics, mathematics, engineering, chemistry, ect.... are real courses.

"African studies" is just as ridiculous as "Lithuanian studies". It is a bogus class designed to serve the PC sentiments of those who cannot achieve in academics.

So commenting about a pattern of lies put forth by black activists constitutes trolling or off topic????????


Black lies matter! they matter because their causes lose credibility and support and they are divisive.


Black lies matter!

When numerous Division 1 colleges and universities use certain majors to keep their athletes eligible and "graduate" them....like it or not....it devalues greatly what people consider a "real major" or discipline.

Typically these involve majors like marketing, kinesiology and AA studies to name a few.

I mean heck, when I was in college all the students would say stuff about which were "real majors" and which were "soft majors" or "party majors".

In fact, these crap majors (oh yes, I took it a step further) are used to "graduate" athletes that read at a 3rd grade level and are often exploitative and abusive of minority athletes....because actually educating them is hard...it's easier to just have fake crap majors like AA.

The true beauty of these programs is that the University can balance out their pesky teaching racial imbalance a tiny bit and be applauded for being PC while deflecting criticisms of any such program as racism. Then they keep their football players eligible.

Odd that well-paid university professors (black and white in this thread) can't/won't pay their traffic tickets and are driving on suspended licenses.

This post is an example of what is wrong with education in this country. People cant tell the difference between a real class and a nonsense class used to justify high tuition and full credit loads, and to pass athletes through the system.

I wish you weren't being sarcastic but there are too many instances where "vicitmized" blacks and feminists created bogus incidents and were unrepentant when found out.

It's only made worse when their dim-witted supporters and colleagues in academia stick up for them. The painfully self righteous "Duke 88" comes to mind here.
