Columbia University offers “Occupy 101.” Or, why did a bunch of fools with useless college degrees and mountains of student loan debt poop in the streets and camp out in parks? Well, how about taking a useless college course and adding to your student loan debt in order to poop in the street and camp out in a park and find out?

Gee, who would have guessed that Columbia would offer a course like that?
BTW, when are they having AACKMYDINNERSCOLD as a guest speaker again?
For anyone who doubts the Marxist underpinnings of the pathetic OWS movement, I submit this...

“Appel told the New York Post that while her involvement with the movement will color the way she teaches it will not prevent her from being an objective teacher.”
Hahahaha……good one !
Will there be a portion of this class that teaches pest control for the fleas, ticks, crab lice, ect. that will infest their encampments?
I think we can all agree that an Ivy League education isn't what it's cracked up to be. I remember having some respect for people who graduated from Harvard, Penn, or Columbia. Not anymore.
As a hiring manager, I will not give them the 'prestige' they think they're getting. I know that ANY Ivy leaguer is a lib and is lacking in common sense. Their education isn't anywhere near the value they are for which they are paying.
I think this will eventually morph into a degree. You'll be called an Occupyologist, the left will be ecstatic that they finally came up with a degree that's more useless than a Liberal Arts Degree.
Doctor Hannan Appel said, " (her) allegiance won’t keep her from being an objective teacher."
An "objective teacher"???? At Columbia???? Not that the good Doctor has any credibility, her being a teacher at Columbia and all, but if she does have any, it's gonzo with that statement.
Her PHd must be in "Going through life, totally clueless." Whatever it is in, it is most likely totally useless in the real world and only good for teaching it to other fools.
Well I wrote on my Resume that I have an advanced degree in in Passive Resistance, with a minor in Community Organization, but nobody will hire me.
You have a degree in bullshit. It shows that you really care and want to make a difference. That qualifies you to run for office.
You need some credits in advanced street pooping. Today's hi-tech companies need people who can crap in odd corners of offices without being observed.
You people need to free your minds.
There is an art to crapping on a cop car without being seen, getting stoned in a tent all night, and raping women in a tent community without getting caught. Students who take this course can also benefit from learning how to manufacture, sort, and store piles of garbage in a densely populated urban area in which they do not live.
This course can also be a valuable elective or part of a comprehensive curriculum that leads to some totally useless degree, for which there are no jobs.
The Ivy League means nothing anymore. They have destroyed their reputations by OPENLY going all in for everything progressive/liberal/socialist/PC. They no longer have any prestige with the people, & it's their damn fault.
