Easy A, but know what you are getting into. People complain about how liberal Kathy is, but the only problem is that she does it ignorantly. She is very inconsistent, and only ever mentions the conservative side if it is followed by an immediate bashing. Class suggested for average liberals, not conservatives or intelligent liberals.

An absurdly easy, but ultimately boring and unnecessary class. As a bleeding heart liberal, I'm on the fence about her opinionated teaching style. She seems to blindly denounce anything that doesn't fit within her bubble. According to her, white males are a cross between Hitler and Skelator. Attendance points are required to get above a B.
