If you didn’t already think college today was an absolute waste of money since universities have become centers for left-wing indoctrination and offer degrees in useless categories like « gender studies, » the latest offering from a number of universities, including the once prestigious Harvard, should push you over the edge.
Come this spring, the University of Florida, Harvard, and UC Berkeley, will offer a course about pop sensation Taylor Swift, arguably the highest-grossing and most influential musician of our time. Yes, that’s right; parents are paying thousands of dollars a year for their kids to go to college and learn about a pop singer. I’m ready to get off the ride now.
Of course, none of this is Swift’s fault, though she is a Democrat and probably loves the idea of major colleges and universities studying her. No, this is a sign of the times we live in, where celebrities are elevated high above normal people and worshiped for their contributions to society, which consists of entertainment and not much else.
According to a report from the Harvard Crimson, Stephanie L. Burt, a professor and « diehard Swiftie » with the Ivy League school, is all set to teach a new course entitled, « Taylor Swift and Her World, » which will make its debut in the spring at the institution’s English Department. Yikes.
“In this class, students will earn college credit for their deep dives into Swift’s lyrics, music, and influence, dissecting her catalog and reading a host of authors Burt finds relevant to understanding Swift’s artistry,” the newspaper revealed about the course.
