Gender studies are worthless, or haven't you heard?

Rutgers, oh my, what are you doing?  Beyoncé studies? 
Queen Bey 101 is taught by PhD candidate Kevin Allred, who explained to the Rutgers Today newspaper exactly what students can expect from the class.  
"This isn't a course about Beyoncé's political engagement or how many times she performed during President Obama's inauguration weekend," he said.

"Rather, the performer's music and career are used as lenses to explore American race, gender and sexual politics."
... 
And for those diehard fans of Bey's other half, they can enroll in the Georgetown University course dubbed, "The Sociology of Hip-Hop: Jay Z."   
That's it.  I've had it. I no longer pity the parents who send their kids to get these bullshit degrees and get stuck not only with the bill, but also with taking care of their forever children living in their basements or above their garages.

If you can't see how stupid this is, you deserve the misery.
