I, for one, am shocked, SHOCKED, that anyone would choose to attend a college where there is a rigorous curriculum that extends outside of the classroom. Why, who has ever heard of such a thing?? That's like communism multiplied by homosexuality to the power of sustainable agriculture.
Being forced to lessen one's ecological footprint? Egads, what's next? Forced bestiality?
Being forced to understand the importance of leading a sustainable lifestyle? Dear lord, next thing you know these poor students will be dancing.
And being forced to acknowledge the existence of systematic oppression and *choke* advocate for oppressed peoples? SWEET HOLY MOTHER OF CHRIST SOMEBODY CALL BOB JONES!!!!!!!!

You might have a point if this wasn't a major state university.
It's the same thing if they were requiring every student to attend church and take religion classes.
I do agree, though, that most people can choose what college to go to. The difference is that for a lot of kids, a state university isn't their "choice" but their only option.
The point of a public university is to be open to as many students, and therefore as many viewpoints, as possible.
