Butler University Responds to Backlash Over Its President Trump 'Resistance' Class
Quote:Butler University, a private school in Indianapolis, has responded to criticism of a "Trumpism & U.S. Democracy" course that was offered to students in order to "potentially engage" in "strategies for resistance" to President Donald Trump.
"Just as I support this course, I would support a course that is complimentary of the President," Butler provost and vice president for academic affairs Kathryn Morris said in a letter posted to the school's website. "Butler offers a variety of courses that tackle controversial topics. Like any University, Butler should - and does - promote an environment of critical inquiry and engagement on controversial and unpopular topics."

Outrage about the class began as a version of the course description circulated on Twitter describing the President as a perpetuator of "sexism, white supremacy, xenophobia, nationalism, nativism and imperialism" began to bubble on conservative news outlets. Shortly before, former Indiana state Sen. Carlin Yoder, a Republican, tweeted a photo of the course description on Tuesday.

I would support this class if it was not one sided. Also discussing resistance, is sedition in my book.

Can you imagine paying $52,890/year for such nonsense? Millennials are suckers.

Is that a man or a woman? I can't tell and don't care enough to investigate.
