$46+K a year for a Duke Education -- what a joke

Imagine paying over $46,000 a year for a college education at Duke University (and many other private universities for that matter) and paying for pathetic professors who shouldn't be in kindergarten much less universities. All universities in America are badly managed and poor investments. The people who teach are almost always way to the left and they are "adults" who have never left school -- not terrific role models. But every once in a while, how bad they really are hits you in the face.

There is a group of some 80 professors at Duke who came out as one immediately against the lacrosse team players accused of raping a woman at a party (playing the PC card big time). The team players were exonerated later on, but that didn't matter to these adult/children. They were and are poor excuses for faculty and thoughtful adults. To make my point, a section of a course description for a course entitled Sexual History around the Globe by one of these jokers appears below. Would you want to study with this guy?

Sexual History around the Globe.” That course asks,

“What does it mean to sexualize history?” We will ask how we can sexuality not just as a topic of study, but as a reading practice. What happens when we focus a feminist and queer analysis on history? How does the historical narrative change as we use sexuality as our reading practice? What happens to the sign of history when confronted with the sign of sexuality? As we read historical narratives that focus on a wide variety of topics, we will discuss those topics by developing sexuality as our reading practice. Thus, when we read a military history, we will ask not just about sexuality as a topic with the military (did soldiers have sex with other soldiers? did soldiers impregnate prostitutes?), but also about sexuality as a reading process (what happens when we center our entire analysis of the military by sexualizing the bodies of the soldiers? what happens when we read the military as a sexualized institution?) Similarly, all other topics will be sexualized in our reading practice. We will read primary and secondary literature from various time periods and locations: hence will perform sexual histories around the globe."
