Apparently, I missed the part where the government forced ULL to do this. Where is that?Originally Posted by ChuckK3
Wow, now that right there's profound.
The point I was attempting to make was that OUR money is backing what we're making fun of UL-L for having. Rest assured, if the gubmint can force them to do stuff like this, they could force LaTech to do it too...yes, it is OUR problem, not just ULL's.
Their mascot just became the Flamin' Gayjuns. They may not know it yet, but it did.
Good old Memorial Gym
Wow, the hate in this thread sickens me.
5% + of the US population identifies as LGBT.
I agree. There is a lot of ignorance in this thread. No one is forcing anyone to take the course. Get over it......
Buried in the fine print, i'm afraid, Maverick.
You are correct. My post that you quoted was badly worded on my part. It incorrectly implies overt "coersion" by the feds or whomever upon the administration of ULL to implement this "minor", which apparently didn't happen. BUT...there are all sorts of requirements tied to accepting public monies. Strings attached...if you will.
I suspect ULL, an institution like our own that depends on public funding, may not have been in any legal position to tell the supporters of this curricula NO.
It's not a course. It's a minor. Students who choose to pursue the minor have to take 18 credit hours in LGBT studies. ULL offers numerous courses (98 courses that I counted) that can count towards the minor. All but 3 of the courses (95 courses) are regular courses from other curricula to which they have added or will add LGBT content. However, the professors who teach those courses can opt out of teaching the new LGBT components of those courses if they file the necessary paperwork. Regardless, many students not taking the LGBT curriculum will have LGBT content added their non-LGBT curricula.

You may be right- I don't plan on contacting her though. I guess I should say "wife."Or would she?

I'm all for making fun of ULL and Flamin Cajuns, but ya'll are acting like they are forcing everyone to take these classes...
Most Sociology/Psych classes already have some elements or at least a chapter on LGBT...
See the 95 courses listed above that have had or will have LGBT content added to it.
I agree, and people in these fields cannot ignore LGBT, else they would not be fully educated.
Jordan Mills on choosing Tech:
“It’s a great experience seeing them play. It was a good atmosphere. The fans stood up the whole game and never sat down. They have a great fan base.”
All courses where LGBT content makes sense; those are, for the most part, humanities courses and whether you like it or not LGBT is part of our human culture and traces of it can be found throughout our history...
The only two that jump out as kind of odd are "Fluency and Voice" and "Communication Theory". Everything else make sense for including at least some LGBT content.
I'm just getting the facts out there. The only opinions I have stated are that I think this will eventually turn into a major and how I think it will affect enrollment of prospective students.
It is more than just humanities. LGBT content has been or will be added to courses in anthropology, biology, child and family studies, communication, cognitive design, criminal justice, dance, English, history, honors, humanities, industrial design, nursing, philosophy, political science, psychology, sociology, theatre, and visual arts.
