The mediocre private liberal arts college that President Barack Obama attended from 1979 to 1981 before wisely transferring to Columbia University as a junior will now offer real academic credit for students who want to study the reality show “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”
The spring course at Occidental College in Los Angeles is entitled “Reading RuPaul: Camp Culture, Gender Insubordination, and the Politics of Performance,” reports Campus Reform.
The class will analyze “RuPaul’s Drag Race” from both gay and feminist gay viewpoints. Coursework will include watching a bunch of episodes of the Logo TV reality show and reading “Workin’ It,” a book RuPaul wrote in 2010. (more...)
