The nutty professors are offering a plethora of idiot-minded wokester courses this year
By Eric Utter
College isn’t what it used to be. Tuition is going up, up, up and standards are going down, down, down. Pay more, get less!
Take the University of California-Berkeley for example. Please.
Tuition for out-of-state students runs roughly $43,000 a year. Classes on Western Civilization and Government may have gone the way of the dodo, but the young scholars can now choose to take classes such as “How to Solve the Rubik’s Cube” and “Henna Art: Application and Cultural Perspectives.”
According to the institution’s website, these are legitimate for-credit courses created by the school’s “DeCal” program, which stands for “democratic education.” UC-Berkeley offers over 150 DeCal courses, and the school says they are “an excellent way of meeting the university’s minimum unit requirement” and adds that “all students are encouraged to consider taking a course!” Grades are typically only offered as Pass/No Pass, a sure indicator of the courses’ rigorous nature.
Other DeCal courses offered at California-Berkeley include “Cal Pokémon Academy,” “UC Marvel Cinematic Universe,” and, of course, “UC Hogwarts: The Wonderful Wizarding World of Harry Potter.” Pokémon Academy will cover the history of the franchise and allow for the discussion of “social issues within the Pokéverse.”
Ah. According to campusreform.org, students will also have to draw a picture of themselves as a “trainer” alongside their favorite Pokémon and design their own trading card.
Whew! I’m exhausted just thinking about those class requirements.
