New England’s eight Ivy League colleges offer a slew of blatantly biased classes to educate America’s gullible best and brightest. From bashing Christianity and organized religion to preaching the hazards of capitalism, these fancypants schools have it all.

None of this is very shocking, of course, particularly in light of the fact that 96 percent of the 2012 presidential campaign donations from Ivy League professors and staffers went to the coffers of Democrat President Barack Obama. At Princeton University, Obama managed to pull in 99 percent of all presidential political donations. (RELATED: 96% of Ivy League Donations Went To The Obama Campaign)

For your criticism, amusement, and/or sorrow, The Daily Caller has compiled the definitive list of the Ivy League’s 14 most liberal undergraduate courses. The course descriptions are reprinted exactly from the schools’ course catalogs.

Brown University, American Studies Department: “My Body, My Choice”?: Reproductive Politics in the U.S. since Roe v. Wade

From waiting periods to mandatory ultrasounds, a record number of provisions aimed at restricting women’s access to abortion were enacted in 24 U.S. states in 2011. Dubbed the “war on women” by numerous observers, these legislative battles evidence the difficulty in determining reproduction’s “proper” place in governmental politics. But is there more to this battle than abortion? Beginning with Roe v. Wade, this course explores how welfare, labor, citizenship, the family, religion, and activism alter mainstream conceptions of reproductive politics. Using a variety of sources, including films and websites, we will consider what an expansive reproductive freedom might entail. Enrollment limited to 17 first year students and sophomores.

Harvard University, Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality: Friends with Benefits?

How many people would you count as your friends? Facebook friends? Facebook Close Friends? Google+ friends? Other network friends? Friends with Benefits? Does sex get in the way of friendship? Are your friends mostly of the same sex/gender/sexuality? Is it harder to make friends with persons of different sex/gender/sexuality? How have friendships changed as people have become more embedded in online communities? The course will begin with a consideration of current conversations about friendship, including popular TV serials — such as “Friends,” “Sex and the City,” “New Girl,” and “The Inbetweeners” — in which friendships are lived and variously configured through sexual relationships. What could we make about meanings of friendship and sex, and their inter-relationship, in contemporary American culture? We will read various texts that form historical threads that inform our contemporary concepts and practices of friendship and romance. Readings will include Winthrop, Plato, Cicero, Biblical sources, St. Augustine, St. Aquinas, Montaigne, Bray, Marcus, Sedgwick, and Foucault. Finally, we will return to contemporary America, asking what gay marriage, Facebook, and changing conceptions of masculinity/femininity are doing to/for friendship.

Note: Expected to be given in 2015–16. This course, when taken for a letter grade, meets the General Education requirement for Culture and Belief.

Harvard University, Government Department: Inequality and American Democracy

“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” wrote Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence, “that all men are created equal….” Since the Founding, Americans have cherished the ideals of political equality and democratically responsive government. Reformers and mass movements have repeatedly highlighted disparities between ideals and reality and sought to extend citizenship rights. In recent times, the Civil Rights struggle and other rights revolutions expanded the rights and participation of African Americans, women, and other formerly marginalized groups. Yet over the past three decades, new threats have emerged. Disparities of income, wealth, and access to opportunity are growing more rapidly in the United States than in many other nations. Progress toward realizing American ideals of equal opportunity and impartially responsive democracy may have stalled, and in some cases reversed.
