The school I transferred to was like that. Hippy liberal arts type. No sororities or fraternities allowed there. We had a reputation for going to class in pajamas (that is, if anyone woke up from last night's drinking/illegal substance) party. To be perfectly honest with you, I'm pretty sure we did have a class on minority lesbian and gay culture. I know we had a gay and lesbian studies sub-department under our super multiethnic/racial/ departments. No joke. I am for real.
Check out this description of one of our classes:
76. Gender and Genre. Generic coding allows for the telling and re-telling of narratives which revel in (white, male, heterosexist) society's "hidden" fears, desires and beliefs. But what happens when the demons, seductresses, whores and monsters of such tales re-vision genre for their own ends? We will consider how horror, melodrama and film noir speak to/for/about women. Prerequisite: Media Studies 50 or Pomona Media Studies 51. A. Juhasz. [not offered in 2000-2001]
It's just one of many. Actually, I thought it was pretty cool that we had classes like that. Anyway everyone there was guilty of I-am-superior-to-the-masses intellecutalism. Me too, at times.
