If you’ve noticed a disturbance in the academic force lately, it is not a drill. There’s another college course with a celebrity name in it and those who get outraged about such things are up in arms.
So, who is it this time? We’ve already made it through Beyonce, Jay Z, The Simpsons, and even The Walking Dead, so who’s causing the latest course credit kerfuffle? It’s none other than that tongue-wagging diva, Miss Miley Cyrus.
The course in question, “The Sociology of Miley Cyrus,” is being offered at Skidmore College this summer; and I have to say this doesn’t bother me in the slightest.
If it were twerking 101 we’d be having a different conversation, but this class actually sounds like it may have some merit.
Sociology is after all the study of human social behavior, and Miley is in fact a human that behaves in a unique fashion in the social sphere. It seems like a natural fit.
If you prefer to think of Miley Cyrus as outside the norm of human social behavior, or deny her very existence then I suggest you not take the class. However, given that Skidmore is one of the more exclusive schools in the country, it’s fairly likely that the majority of those belly aching about the course won’t even have the chance.
I rest my case.
