I think this plays right into the "educated vote" put a drain on society type of person. If my child was at Princeton and decided to major in this, they would be pulled out and put into tech school.
Seriously.....what kind of job do you find after college with a degree in race studies???
Give me a guy that works on engines or a woman that can do hair......at least they contribute to society.

"pull them out of Princeton and put them into a tech school", LOL
a little common sense and a practical skill set does help people to succeed in life, so many degrees are toilet paper
always remember, selfish racist white men are holding you down, they get rich at your expense
and you can also blame the "systematic racism" found in law enforcement throughout this country
it's not your fault, you're a victim of societal injustice
and don't forget to "Punish your enemies"
it's actually not 'new', at least not at The University of Minnesota .
Productive? It all depends on the INDIVIDUAL.
