Seriously??? So, ASU has to offer elementary school information in classes. Well, that speaks to the uselessness of that school...as if we didn't already know how worthless it is. A degree from Albany State might as well be toilet paper.
Hey ASU, ther is already a class about drugs and weapons, and making the right choices...it's called DARE, and while normally taught to kids at the sixth grade level, I'm sure you could get someone to come in and teach it at a remedial level for your student body.

What they need is a class about improving their quality of life and becoming productive members of society, instead of blowing their money on rims and stereos for their cars. Oh, and gold teeth....LOL!

I am a student at ASU and you have no idea how hard the students at this school work. Just because we are not UGA and refuse to take mess from anyone does not give you the right to bash our school. If you just think you know what it take to help our school, why don't you come on down and give us some assistance.

Can we say "dumbed down" to accomodate "equal opportunity" like every school in America?

Actually, that poster DOES have the right to say whatever he/she pleases. Free country.

Assistance?...I'd say you've had more than your fair share of assistance. I have no doubt that my taxes have/are paying for plenty of you to attend school through unfair minority assistance programs, not to mention gov assistance such as welfare, low-income housing, etc... You may claim that you don't take "mess" but you sure are quick to reach for a hand out.

Indeed!!! Also, very sad than instead of teaching to a standard, the common practice now is to lower the standard to accomodate lazyness, ignorance, and/or lack of intelligence.
