University of Minnesota Offers Minor in LGBTQ Studies

March 18, 2015 by V the K

Yeah, this should prepare students for lucrative jobs lecturing coffee buyers about the evils of racism. The University of Minnesota – Duluth ($23,522 [In-state and illegal immigrants] $27,188 [Out-of-state], is adding a Minor Concentration in LGBTQ Studies… which will be as useful as any other degree in a field that has the word ‘Studies’ in it.

“This minor will prepare students for life,” Gesa Zinn, head of the Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Department, told Campus Reform. “‘The job’ the LGBTQ minor prepares students for is to understand and embrace all members of an increasingly diverse society.”

To complete the minor, students will have to take classes such as An Introduction to LGBTQ Studies, Queer Theory, Queer Cinema in International Perspective, History of the Homosexual Rights Movement 1895 – Present, and Queer Media.

    Queer THEORY??? Why not just call is Queer Philosophy? That’s what it will be. There is no working model about it.

    Actually, though, a Women’s Art Major would not say “Do You Want Fries With That?” since that job will be taken over by a self-serve computer terminal due to the $15/hour minimum wage.

    “. . . which will be as useful as any other degree in a field that has the word ‘Studies’ in it.”

    ‘Studies’ programs are the Peter Pan of academia. If any child of mine announced a major in ‘Studies’, I’d cut off funds, suggest they enroll in ‘Work Studies’, and come back to me when they figured out what they wanted to do when they grew up.

    Unfortunately such bogus credentials are exactly the sort that gets one a good-paying Guv’mint job as a Diversity Enforcement Gruppenfuehrer, a tenured faculty-position, or a cushy corporatism job in HR. Parasites all…

    the myth that you will get a good job because you go to college has to be exposed.

    Why should tax payer dollars go towards massively useless degrees such as this? It won’t be long before they elevate it to major status.

    This should qualify the unsuspecting Liberal Dupes to work in a free STD clinic, pretending enough pomposity to be taken seriously by frivolous queens who’ve had a suspicious night out & are wondering if they’ll have to pay for lewdness & abandon with death.

    As one is paying for an overpriced coffee at Starbucks, beans over-oiled with cheap fragrances & flavors, the last thing I would expect to hear is a beverage server spouting liberal Seattle based mores on race. Hypocrite hats turned up to maximum.

    This is just another way for gay men to find hookups

    I refuse to embrace 2-3%er neurotic behavior or waste money on such a worthless degree plan

    Coming up next: “Die-ins” to protest the horrific injustice that the U. of Minn. only offers “LGBTQ Studies” as a minor, and there’s no College of Queerness, as there are for Engineering or Medicine.

    How long is that starbucks thing going on for I have to decide if its worth going there to set off their amygdales?

    Don’t they still give free gay lessons down by the railroad tracks?

    Yep. That minor in LGBTQ “studies” will definitely put you on the fast-track to a job at Starbucks.

    People with worthless majors (i.e. cannot get a decent job in the real world) end up earning about 20K a year and whining about not making a good salary. Well, if you had received a good degree with potential for a high salary and even the ability to acquire a good job, you wouldn’t be in that situation.
