Why I increasingly believe that "higher education" is a pile of bullshit

Because of crap like this.

Oh, and I will refuse to hire anyone with a "gender studies" degree, a degree with anything LGBTQXYZODQICANTEVEN.  If the person supposedly teaching the class says "I don't use gendered pronouns" get up and walk out of the class.  There's a place in this life for make-believe.  That place is with children.  If your professor wants to play make-believe with their biology, that puts them on the level of children who cannot understand simple things like male and female.  You don't need to be taught by adult children.
