Training Future Activists

The Florida Board of Governors’ recent decision to omit introductory sociology from the list of social science core courses in the state college and university systems was met with outrage by the heads of several sociology departments in Florida institutions. They claimed that sociology is a scientific field that gives students vital knowledge for their civic education and professional futures concerning “the social causes and consequences of human behavior…[and] patterns of organization and change in social life.”

  1. Sociology is just as scientific as astrology. Psychology equals Sociology for one. Economics is Sociology with cool formulas. Climate Science is Sociology for clouds.

    1. we had a professor in mechanical engineering that challenged the sociology dept head to show on paper the scientific facts their " core" is based upon. Couldnt be done since it is all theory. WKU 1989.

  2. Political Science isn't even that, just reporting what happened and making up excuses for why.
