Campus Reform reports.
Announcing the winners of the biased course contest!
Campus Reform received an outpouring of submissions for its first annual Biased Course Contest, with readers identifying 37 classes currently being offered at U.S. colleges that present a skewed perspective on major political issues.
There could only be three winners, though, and after intense deliberation, the following courses have been selected as the most egregious examples of liberal bias on American campuses today:
First-Place: $500 prize
History 73S: “History of the Police in the United States: Slave Patrols to Ferguson”—submitted by Nick Sovich, Stanford University ‘17
“How did police come to have the power to use violence?” begins the online course description. History 73S purports to explore that question by examining themes such as the “growth of professional policing, creation of private police forces and vigilantism, and public portrayals of police—by Hollywood and the press.”
Second-Place: $300 prize
Political Science 415: “Taking Marx Seriously”—submitted by Avery Riggs, Amherst College ‘18
This course, which fulfills the advanced seminar requirement for political science majors, examines the question of whether the economic theories of Karl Marx deserve “another chance” despite the repeated failure of efforts to put them into practice.
Third-Place: $200 prize
American Studies 3731: “The Refusal to Work”—submitted by Casey Breznick, Cornell University ‘17
This elective course, also listed as Communications 3731 and English 3931 at the Ivy League university, offers a “critical reflection on the refusal of work,” which the course description defines as “attempts to remain human within modernity’s regime of coerced labor.”
