Twerking Your Way Through College :: SteynOnline

by Mark Steyn  •  Mar 28, 2014 

Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs has a new academic discipline for America's scholars:
The course, called The Sociology of Miley Cyrus: Race, Class, Gender and Media, is a 251-level special topics course taught by Visiting Assistant Professor of Sociology Carolyn Chernoff. The professor encourages students to look past the colon in her course title and see what the class is really about.
In the photograph at right, it's actually not that difficult to see past the colon.
Skidmore junior Layla Lakos, a sociology/philosophy major, first heard about the new Miley course on Facebook. Lakos laughed, but was intrigued all the same.

"You can study a lot of things based on Miley," she said. "She represents how transient wealth and fame can be, and shows how possible it is to change your image."
One of the easiest ways to understand how transient wealth is is to invest a six-figure sum in Twerk State University. The Atlantic reports on "the least valuable colleges and majors in America":
The self-reported earnings of art majors from Murray State are so low that after two decades, a typical high school grad will have out-earned them by nearly $200,000.
