Tonight we contemplate life lessons from the TKC alma mater and educational opportunities that couldn't be any more worthless than a Communication Studies degree with a pre-med minor and dual emphasis in economics & pre-law . . . Double bonus for an intersession seminar on the cinema of Alfred Hitchcock and a correspondence course on the international history of nuclear weapons.
Sadly, this basement blogger wanted to graduate in 4 years and was forced to forgo a minor in bakery science that would've really made for a promising career as a barista.
But I digress . . .
Here's our Saturday night teachable moment and sentimental news of cowtown college life that might be more rewarding than yelling really nasty stuff at all of the International students whilst stuck in a parking garage traffic jam . . .
UMKC unveils new Race, Ethnic, and Gender/Sexuality academic department
Deets:
Race, Ethnic, and Gender/Sexuality (REGs) academic department combines three fields of study that were already in the UMKC system. Black Studies, Latin and Latin American Studies, and Women and Gender Sexuality studies make up the core of this interdisciplinary department. This allows for an intersectional learning program in which students are able to take classes that discuss all three of the fields.
Classes will be related to a plethora of topics, from race in the financial field to the study of gender in various cultures. Under the current curriculum, students can obtain a minor in any of the REGs courses. However, there is not currently a major for the department.
“[The goal] is the understanding of diversity, making sure students have an in-depth exploration of the world of race, ethnicity, and gender,” the Interim Chair said.
Whilst it all sounds FASCINATING . . . We're not sure any of it will help students find a job in this garbage coronavirus economy.
And all of this inspires our TKC SATURDAY NIGHT LATE 90S PLAYED OUT COLLEGE MUSIC PLAYLIST . . .
As always, thanks for reading this week and have a safe and fun Saturday night . . .
Careful now Tk, looks like this degree could produce some really great bloggers!
ReplyDeleteJust when you thought it couldn't get worse......
ReplyDeleteKC's most successful blogger counts for something.
ReplyDeleteAnother reason why taxpayers should not be funding Universities.
ReplyDeleteMore poison from parasites that breeds Progressives, pussies and Puritanical pants shitting whenever they are "triggered".
ReplyDeleteClasses Courses will be
ReplyDeletehow to freeze water bottles
how to purchase and carry milk
how to light dumpster/ car fires
how to block traffic
how to have a pallet of bricks delivered to a protest
how to really get back at your mom and dad for not giving you any attention
how to embrace your white guilt
how to rewrite history
how to get funding from overseas with introductions to financial funding by the CCP with a keynote and more support from soros.
Priceless! Laughing my ass off!
DeleteThey could have a school-sponsored looting team.
ReplyDelete6 years and 220K in student loans later and you can have a "degree."
ReplyDeleteI guess that studying Chaucer and the history of Ceasar's wars is no longer part of a college education in the humanities.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteperfect degree for those looking to hop onboard the Democrap "Community Activist" scam train..
Barry did..now he and Big Mike are worth 100s of $$$ millions!
All of the Hype around race, diversity and gender does just the opposite of what they intend it to do ?
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone disagree? I guess maybe with kids when they are young and you just program them early ?

I disagree.
ReplyDeleteNobody even really gives a shit about any of this non sense. They are just doing it because they think everyone else is, scared to get called racist, etc. nobody cares. They go home and think it’s bullshit and say the N word while they watch tucker ...
DeleteHate to admit,
Deletebut without Bandit,
threads
are dead.
Bandit should come back, but not with a confederate flag. Follow the lead of the Ayatollah because his shit is just damn FUNNY!

ReplyDeleteUMKC unveils new Race, Ethnic, and Gender/Sexuality academic department, with newly named Department Chair Jessica Krug, a Jewish lesbian from OPKS who pretends to be an African American/Puerto Rican heterosexual academic!!!
(UMKC invites prospective students to reimagine their existence and select a new identity. E.g., a biracial suburban heterosexual male college dropout could transition to become a black urban SJW metrosexual philanthropist...hat-tip to Patrick M.)
My degree in advanced wokesterism has opened innumerable doors for me.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately most of those doors have been at Arby's.
Restroom doors!
ReplyDeleteGood luck finding well-paying jobs with those degrees, suckers. This is how schools get rich off of students -- offering worthless degrees on par with majoring in basketweaving.
ReplyDeleteSon/daughter you're what???? Want to move back home? But,,, you just graduated with a degree!!
ReplyDeleteWell, the white privileged racists won't hire me. I'm going to need a place to live while I protest.
Does the program involve an internship as a barista?
ReplyDeleteA rainbow apron at Starbucks?
DeleteAdd a minor in basket weaving and Starbucks might make an assistant manager out of ya someday.
ReplyDeleteIt's always great to read the opinions of those who flunked their GEDs.
ReplyDeleteWould it turn you on if i asked you if you had a tight vagina?
ReplyDeleteIn other words, Whitey need not enroll.
ReplyDeleteHow about you, would it turn YOU on if i asked you if you had a tight vagina?
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that this new degree program will quickly become a requirement for those working in government policy positions.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to talk about my dickie becoming a pussy for the next four years.
ReplyDeleteWill my Degree be in Cockology or Cuntology?
Course will be named: Explanation/description of deviant behaviors and lifestyles within the larger society.
ReplyDeleteI hear that Professor "I'm black, from Overland P.... I mean Harlem", is in line to run the department.
ReplyDeleteMissed here is the leading course in:
ReplyDeleteFollow Your Passion.
Simply put- all these great degrees are awesome. They line the pockets of liberal turd burners.
The rest get real jobs in hard core sciences like math, business, health care and rocket science so we can make cars, find cures for cancer and truly help humanity.
The more liberals infiltrate universities with nonsense courses and protest 24/7 showing they can’t or won’t be employed- the more Trump 2020 makes sense to anyone on the fence.
Vote No to liberal professors and media sponsored terrorism. Defund colleges and newspapers.
The need to defund newspapers on both an ideology and Mother Earth level has never been greater!
ReplyDeleteStop all Tax incentives for newspapers.
Let’s go back and collect taxes from 20 years ago on any or bond incentives given to papers.
Let’s collect and tax all media from newspapers including levying new taxes on employees that ever worked at a paper and collecting from any heirs. We can foreclose and penalize any left wing liberal bloggers.
This defunding should be done soon and monies collected go to help fund private education choices in America.
California is burning because God is mad at Nancy for hating poor people and not passing stimulus. Let’s pray for Nancy’s lost soul.
I think I found Nancy’s lost soul.
ReplyDeleteMy dog pooped this morning and it smell worse than usual.
Just saying...
That’s Chuck Schumer and Adam Schiff’s soul.
ReplyDeleteNancy’s was found the other day in a roadkill skunk. Apparently run over my Antifa on their way to Portland and Rochester.
If some kid wants to burn their folks money on a BS in Reparations with a minor in Rainbow Forestry, so what. There have always been unemployable grads. Caveat Emptor. We all get thru life, degree or not.

ReplyDeleteMarxist Democrats ====>
Step 1 - Divide the races.
Step 2 - Destroy law enforcement.
Step 3 - Create Anarchy.
Step 4 - Implement Radical Communist government.
Shhhhh Comrade. Zeee plan is top secret.
DeleteAnd after getting a "degree" from this curriculum, a person will be well-positioned to then pursue an advanced degree in grifting.
ReplyDeleteAnd KCMO is already full of individuals whose experience will make them excellent "professors".
The water in the toilet continues its swirl.
I agree, these with new "Woke" degrees are as employable as PhD's in Western Philosophy or waiters with a European History major.
ReplyDeletePoorly paid and easily pownd foot soldiers of the culture wars.
Even some degrees in law have proved futile.
ReplyDeleteWitness Mayor 10-10-10.
Can we please do something about the crime, murder rate and homelessness in this town?
ReplyDeleteEveryone knows the mayor is in bed with corporations and wants to destroy local bars and restaurants. Everyone also knows he's behind the protests and hates white people. He is a racist.
ReplyDelete9:08: He'll be back just as soon as he can get an emergency shipment of Depends.
ReplyDeleteUMKC obviously has way too much money. I hope the legislature hears about how they're wasting our tax dollars, and does something about it. They're going to have to be specific. If they order UMKC to cut back, it will drop all STEM classes and keep the grievance studies majors.
ReplyDeleteActually UMKC has serious financial problems, and the instructors, who have had to take pay cuts, are the ones being penalized for the university's bad decisions.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope UMKC, like the Kansas City Star, goes bankrupt.
ReplyDeleteWould be a great learning experience for the Communists.
You hate to say you would ever disown your kids, but this would do it. I’d move and not tell junior the new address.
ReplyDeleteUseless faculty positions. Fund the conservatory better and as others say, sciences, engineering, etc.
