One of our sisters shared the email that she and other Greeks received from the English department, and they said that part of the class is to learn how to view journalism critically. So hopefully they'll be doing things like dgdramdawg's review.

Apparently they have had books on things before like "high school football culture in Texas" and "the plight of the working poor" and they try to pick something controversial. However, I doubt there are many people in these classes who plan on becoming Texas hs football coaches. I understand the desire to have a book that gets you talking, but for the school to choose something that has to do with a group of these freshmen's fellow students, and could possibly incite unfounded negative feelings toward them, is utterly irresponsible.
