I think I just threw up in my mouth a little. Good thing it isn't being offered by a real university- just a glorified community college...

Karl would be so proud.

So it's about Obama's Presidency?

Well if you don't know whats going on how can you work to stop it. The best minds in the Military attend War College to study what takes place in War and to learn how to avoid it or win it.

If you want to learn how to stop this commie crap it could be very advantageous to take the class where newbie commies are being trained and learn what their methods and plans are.

Maybe 25 Republican Conservative Capitalists ought to sign up for the class and see how things play out.

Frankly I couldn't care less. So one lower division (100-level) "interdisciplinary studies" class is being taught taught on socialism; it isn't part of any major and isn't required for anyone who doesn't choose to attend on their own accord.

Oddly enough, for PSU it's an exercise in capitalism to offer the class in that they're betting there's enough idiots out there wanting to play revolutionary and are willing drop $700+ each to take this class. That's really the bottom line for that particular institution and I'm willing to bet if only a small handful of people sign up for it, we won't likely see it being offered again any time soon.

I'm shocked Randy Blazak isn't the instructor.

Would that include Tea Party events? :huh:

You guys and your fear mongering crack me up.
