Coming Soon to a University Near You...

By Ed Brayton

My pal DarkSyde has a hilarious essay about a new college course coming to a right wing Christian school near you:

Liberty Patriot Freedom Republic University is proud to present Climate Change Denial 101, an introductory four week course in the art of climate change denial featuring a new prayer topic every week, presented for the objective fundamentalist in an unbiased, socially conservative dominionist setting. Upon completing CCD 101, students should be able to defend the fossil fuel industry, willfully ignore and wildly mis-interpret data, and reconstruct their own apologetic to the secular consensus held by climate researchers.

Grades will be earned based on the following schedule: Purchase of overpriced Bible at Liberty Bookstore and Gift of 500 dollars or more to the University "A"; motivated students will have an opportunity in week three to earn an even higher grade, but none lower than A will be given. Upon receiving a passing grade each student will be awarded 12 semester hours of science transferable to any complicit faith-based university or unaccredited diploma mill of higher learning.
