So, I turn on the news this morning and find out that Georgetown University will be offering a new, amazing course that conforms really well to it's distinguished, Jesuit background in higher academia...
..."Sociology of Hip Hop: Jay-Z". You see, it's a course dedicated to to the rapper Jay-Z and his career. Michael Eric Dyson, a liberal author and radio host (and oh, also a professor at Georgetown), will teach this class. What could you possibly spend a semester at one of the most distinguished Ivy League schools learning about a rapper? From his lyrics, you'll learn about "racial and gender identity, sexuality, capitalism and economic inequality."
Oh.
I guess it's good they are not offering courses such as:
"Capitalism: A Profound Masterpiece"
"WWII: A Study of American Sacrifice and Triumph"
"The Great Depression: A Study on How to Avoid Socialist and Government Interventionism"
"The 1960's: Contrasting Those Who Sacrificed for the Greater Good and Those Who Were Self-Absorbed"
"The American Housing Bubble: How Good Intentions From Politicians Paved the Road to Hell"
"The Basic Economics of Supply and Demand: Why People Still Don't Get It"
"The American Media: A Study of Absurdity"
"Political Ethics: A Study of the Lack of Ethics and Morality in Public Officials" Part I
"Political Ethics: A Study of the Lack of Ethics and Morality in Public Officials" Part II
"Political Ethics: A Study of the Lack of Ethics and Morality in Public Officials" Part III
"Common Sense: A Study in Libertarian Thinking"
Let's hope the Georgetown alumni have something to say about this sham Jay-Z class. If they don't, then shame on them. President Clinton--you first.
