Following Larry Summers’ march to the scaffold for having enraged the Harvard feminists, will university administrators have the nerve to say “no” to adding anything to the curriculum that’s demanded by an “oppressed” group? I wouldn’t bet on it. We may very well see State add “transgendered/queer” studies to its curriculum. The fact that only six students so identify themselves (and none of them are interested in a course to “celebrate” their diversity) should not matter in the least. T/Q courses could prove to be very popular with students who are looking for another course where the work involves regurgitating conclusions about hegemony, oppression and so on.
This entire episode deserves a good horselaugh, but remember that inappropriate laughter can get you in trouble at some colleges.
