To be honest when I was told that I would be "required" under Gen Ed guidelines to take a "diversity" class I felt resentful.

It cost me $417.00 and my choices were race/ethnicity, or gender issues where they study gay lesbian transgender and feminism.

I don't see why that should be required as "basic requirements" alongside math, science & english.

I think it should be an elective but not a requirement.

They want to feel important. I don't mind having to take psychology or economics because I enjoyed both, but having to take shit like art and sociology is an utter and complete waste of time. I went to school with people that were brilliant in the physical (real) sciences, but sucked ass at the "touchy feely" classes and that brought down their GPA.
