Columnist Suzanne Fields Critiques Gay/Multicultural Courses In Universities
October 26, 2005 - Syndicated columnist Suzanne Fields' recent column, "The Evil
Virus Upon Us," outlines how pro-gay courses in universities are undermining
disciplined thought and encouraging students to jettison every moral, religious,
social, and political scruple they have.
Mrs. Fields condemns multicultural studies, which includes pro-gay college
courses such as "Intersections: Gender, Race, and Sexuality in U.S. History and
Politics," taught at New York University. Students at NYU also spend a week
studying the life and death of Teena Brandon, a girl who posed as a boy and was
killed by young hoodlums after they discovered her secret.
According to Fields, women at Smith College joke that the college's motto is,
"Queer in a year or your money back." Vassar College holds a "Homo Hop," and
Williams College's Queer Student Union hosts a "Queer Bash."
Roger Kimball, writing in The New Criterion magazine has observed, "Gender
studies, Ethnic Studies, Afro-American Studies, Women's Studies, Gay, Lesbian,
and Transgender Studies, are not the names of academic disciplines but political
grievances."
According to Fields, "These studies inhibit debate, corrupt young minds and
infect learning with a virus for which, like the bird flu, there is not yet an
antidote."
