Another major university is under fire for offering a course which seems to have no value in helping students prepare for the real world.

George Washington University is offering, "Queer of Color/Crip of Color Critique," which doesn't say a lot about what students will learn.

Sandra Kirby is the Director of Government Affairs for American Principles Project.

"Just trying to read the description of the course alone shows you once again how our academic institutions have failed us, and how our so-called intellectuals have gotten so stuck inside their own heads that they cease to grasp reality."

Professor Rober McRuer states it will supposedly examine "what queer theory has to say about empire, citizenship, prisons" and more.

Kirby hopes new Secretary of Education Linda McMahon can eradicate such dubious courses.

"We have a right to actually look at the accreditation process and what we're actually funding, and if it's something that's antithetical to what's going to make us great and a flourishing nation once again. We should be able to cut those funds."

Campus Reform reports the University of Massachusetts at Boston is also letting students enroll in a class on "Queer of Color Critique" this spring semester.
