You stupid, stupid, little girls.
CollegeFix: Coming this fall, one of the most prestigious private women’s liberal arts colleges in the nation will launch a “forward-looking” curriculum that reduces their language requirement as it introduces a framework emphasizing social justice themes, among other topics and changes.
The new curriculum at the New York City-based Barnard College, called “Foundations,” aims to reteach its students “how to think” by having them take courses within six new so-called “modes of thinking,” according to a video touting the framework.
For example, the video describes how students will be taught to how to “think” through “global inquiry” while depicting phrases such as “Privilege,” “Identity” and “Money” to “see the 6 degrees of separation between you and someone who lives in South Africa.” MORE
Time’s up. The meteor is due any minute now.
Uh huh. Why do I get the feeling that “how to think” is identical to “how THEY want you to think?”
When I entered Barnard in 1975, the only requirements were two semesters of freshman English (from which I was exempted via special exam), four semesters of a foreign language (not a problem since I majored in Latin and minored in French), two semesters of science (I took chemistry, which hurt like hell), and for semester of physical education (good for blowing off steam).
I just wasn’t, and still am not, interested in the problems of peopke who crap in a hole in the ground and live in mud houses. So sue me.
It won’t be’How to think’ – it will be ‘What to think’
Whether or not they actually teach them how to think, there’s one thing they will do: take their money – lots and lots of money.
Teach womyn to think: While it looks good in theory the data doesn’t really support it.
@Claudia I sincerely hope you are right. Really I was hoping for Zombies we could shoot. Not the ones we have walking around now.
I was hoping to go down swinging but I guess it ain’t in the cards.
Should be “How to Feel Like You’re Thinking”
They should throw in a few classes on the proper care of cat herds, for obvious reasons, too.
Thinking would be a thought crime wouldn’t it?
@Claudia
Take over, I need a break from the telescope.
Don’t forget Hillary’s free tampons and BC program should she be elected.
So…the whole come to University in order to learn to think “critically and independently” is a sham now? So what did the $250,000 in student loan debt earn…apparently an obscene appointment with George Soros…blech…I’m teaching my kids so, so much differently.
My sammich needs light mayo and a dollop of mustard. How much more goddamn “thinking” do you wimmins need?
Now get busy. This thinking thing is cute, but it isn’t filling my belly or laundering my shirts.
They better offer minors in blowjobs and sammich making, or they ain’t even going to make a decent trophy wife
Crap! My daughter wasn’t offered a Bullshit Snowflake degree 🙁
Barnyard College?
