Higher Education Update: University of Kentucky offers college credit for eating tacos...

Well, this is embarrassing... 

Via Eater:

It counts towards a degree — really.
Students at the University of Kentucky now have the distinct privilege of being able to get college credit for eating tacos. According to Munchies, the university is offering an undergraduate class called “Taco Literacy: Public Advocacy and Mexican Food in the US South,” and the professor behind it wants to use tacos as an avenue for students to learn more about how people can forge social connections through food.
“This class allows our students to explore the issues of immigration, inequality, workers, intercultural communication, and literacy through the prism of food,” Steven Alvarez, an assistant professor from the school’s writing, rhetoric, and digital studies department told Munchies.
Through coursework that involves writing restaurant reviews, sampling tacos, and collecting data, students are meant to explore their community and develop skills to analyze “transnational community food literacies and how these connect the stories of people and food across borders,” Alvarez said.

Multiculturalism Fail: Deadly Problems With Muslim Immigrants In France

Even The Liberal French Are Abandoning Multiculturalism

America has always been a great melting pot. This has allowed massive immigration from may areas of the world without serious domestic turmoil. Different communities may have their own cultural or ethnic flavor, but we all spoke the same language and shared the same goals and values. In recent years, there has been a push for multiculturalism. This is the idea many completely different communities, with different languages, values and goals, can coexist as part of the same country. It encompasses the idea that being different is good. Well, it doesn't work well and even the French seem ready to throw in the towel.

PARIS (AFP) – French President Nicolas Sarkozy declared Thursday that multiculturalism had failed, joining a growing number of world leaders or ex-leaders who have condemned it.

“My answer is clearly yes, it is a failure,” he said in a television interview when asked about the policy which advocates that host societies welcome and foster distinct cultural and religious immigrant groups.

“Of course we must all respect differences, but we do not want… a society where communities coexist side by side.

“If you come to France, you accept to melt into a single community, which is the national community, and if you do not want to accept that, you cannot be welcome in France,” the right-wing president said.
