More Leftist Lunacy at Duke: Free Sex Changes for Students

Remember when the faculty at Duke accused the Lacrosse team of raping a bat-shit-crazy murdering liar? You would have thought that the college would try to tone down the leftist rhetoric to try to repair their tarnished image as a place of higher education, but you’d be wrong. Duke just raised every student’s tuition to provide free sex changes for any student that wants one.

From the CollegeFix here:

College costs are on the rise–having increased at a rate that outpaces inflation for more than two decades, contributing to record levels of student debt. Nevertheless, Duke University saw fit to raise the cost of its program even more. This week Campus Reform reports that Duke has raised student fees in order to pay for sex change operations for any student who wants one.

Administrators say they will cover the cost of the reassignment surgery up to $50,000 that will be covered with a cause a 0.3 percent increase to overall student fees.LGBT advocates on campus immediately celebrated the university’s decision.

“The addition of sexual reassignment surgery with a $50,000 cap makes Duke’s student health care plan one of the most, if not the most, transgender-inclusive plans in the country,” Sunny Frothingham, the outreach chair for Blue Devils United told the Duke Chronicle last week…

This is a fantastic way to bankrupt a school. More universities should try to price their tuitions beyond the reach of potential students. And when people stop paying for college, these schools will go to the government with their hands out begging for taxpayer relief. I can only pray that someone in Congress will have the balls to tell them to pound sand- but what are the odds of that?
