    Damned Nazis don’t even want kids to know how society works anymore… What better way to breed complacency?

      It’s because sociology is just a coupla letters away from socialism! The only thing kids in Florida need is godology and gunology, none of that woke baloney! /s

    The point of the first years of college is to get a well-rounded education.

    Condemned by educators? What else is new? Conservatives are the nemises to educators. Florida dummies voted him in. Only Florida non dummies can vote him out. They just have to show up. But I’m afraid there are more dummies than non dummies in Florida. They want his mess and want to be uneducated.

    I had my engineering degree and when applying to another school for my masters I needed 3 more hours of a social science so I picked sociology - mostly because it was offered online and it was offered in the summer before I wanted to begin my masters.

    One of the most interesting classes I took during my studies. I really enjoyed it and am glad I took it.

    I mean… Sociology is a bullshit science but you should be free to study it if you want, and universities should be free to structure their degrees how they wish.

    Why does the US right wing constantly scream about freedom, when in reality all they do is make laws that take freedom away?

    If he has been officially condemned, can we just go ahead and tear him down? Maybe put in a park where he once stood?

    Why have you got core college classes? Do you not choose a discipline and have classes built around that?

    I don’t agree with this bigot but I’m curious as to what a sociology class covers that is deemed mandatory but also only to people at third level

      Pfft I wish, core classes (aka General Education classes) are classes you need to pick at every level

      So the college says you need a level 100 history class (or 2 or 3) and then give you a list of eligible classes to choose from that probably have nothing to do with your chosen discipline.

      Colleges and educators always claim “it’s to provide a well rounded education”, but frankly I consider that a bunch of BS and it’s more of a means to get more profit for the school.

        General education is for primary school,ore focused in secondary and then it is specific in College. It seems very odd to me to get a degree and have credits be unrelated to the discipline.

          Not here in the US, College continues these GenEd courses for like the entirety of the 1st year and the first half of the second (sometimes entire second). When I was in college I couldn’t even take ANY of my discipline related classes until I knocked out enough GenEd courses, which worked out to about 1.5 years of college before I got to take my actual discipline classes.

          Like I said, it smells like a pure profit motive to me in the US to have these mandatory GenEd courses, sounds like you’re from a country with free higher education yea? That’s probably why it sounds so weird to you, free higher education no profit motive and then just like that “General education” classes aren’t so important after all lolol

            It’s not free but it isn’t criminally expensive like the US though for some it is cost prohibitive.

      The sociology course I took was really bad, too. I didn’t learn anything worth defending, the class was obsessed over people rather than ideas, and it was a ridiculously easy A. Every single student my year recieved top marks.
