    The Cal State L.B. listing of courses should have labeled this "Comparative Literature" course as "Comparative Trash" taught by a noted Professor of trash. I cannot believe that students pay good money for garbage at a state university. I would demand my money back.

    If the students are going to vote on which texts to require themselves to read, what are we paying the professor for? Replace him with a blog that will automatically tally the votes and announce the results.

    Good grief! What's happened to our universities? We have morons teaching illiterates. When and how did this happen?

    I trace it back to the 1960s when students spent more time protesting than studying. Guess who is running our universities now?
