New in PJ Media:
It costs a staggering $83,140 to send a student to Princeton University, and that’s just for one year. Four years of this august Ivy League school will set you back a cool $332,560, and just think: for that kind of money, you could have bought a brand-new Corvette convertible every year and had some spare change left over.
But Princeton has its benefits: you may not be able to tool around in the glorious sunshine with the wind blowing your hair back, but for all that dough, Princeton will take your thoughtful, intelligent son and turn him into a prancing, preening, children’s-innocence-stealing drag queen. And they will do that in just one year, in case you can’t afford all four. Hey, it’s worth $83,140 to get in step with the times, isn’t it?
The College Fix reported Thursday that Princeton has launched a “new ‘Drag University’ program” that purports to “train students in the ‘artform.’” Do parents send their children to Princeton for this? If there are any parents out there (and I’m sure there are, complete with peeling Bernie stickers on their Volvos) who would be pleased and proud, nay, thrilled, if their sons became drag queens), there are cheaper ways to accomplish this than plunking down $83,140 to get him or her or xer or whatever a degree from Princeton.
The Princeton drag queen training program is “open to all undergraduate and graduate students interested in the world of drag,” so students need not be concerned that they might be too young for it. And there are no prerequisites or preliminary courses that enrollees have to take; they can go from zero to drag queen with just one course. No wonder Princeton charges so much.
The course goes for the entire “academic” year and covers a sweeping array of pressing issues that every young man who will be graduating from college and facing the future in the next few years needs to know, and know thoroughly. These include “the history of drag, ‘Sewing 101,’ choreography, face painting, photoshoots, and other topics,” as if all that wasn’t quite enough, thank you very much.
On the cutting edge as always, Princeton was actually offering scholarships for this course. An Instagram post stated: “Drag University is a new program housed under the mentorship pillar of the Gender + Sexuality Resource Center,” as anyone would expect. The Gender + Sexuality Resource Center describes itself as fostering “a supportive and inclusive campus community for women, femme, trans and queer Princetonians.”
In line with that mission, Princeton’s Drag University is a full-year program that will “teach about the history of drag, as well as the art form of drag. Sessions will be taught by local drag performers, on-campus partners who know their way around machines, and other students. This program is open to undergraduate and graduate students. The first 8 applicants who commit to the entire curriculum and attend orientation will get a scholarship to cover costs of supplies.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Absolutely scandalous!
mike says
is this a PHD level education?
Remember our tax $$$$ go to these schools
DazzleMe says
AND Biden is paying for student loans out of our dollars.
RobL says
A third of a million bucks so that junior will become the best drag queen he can be. What a bargain.
bill says
I would imagine one could become adrag queen in less than month if one so desired. and without all the expense as well. I am sure there are plenty of drag artists who would be willing to run courses for much less.Sounds like a scam to me.
Westman says
Eventually elite universities will be as elite as encyclopedias after the development of the Internet. And it will be the wokeness that sent it sliding towards the coup de grace.
Universities sow the seeds of their own destruction. When socialist movements take over a nations political and military power, they stop being liberal and send the elite educators to do physical work in re-education centers.
Imagine what would happen to Princeton if Islam had control of the US government…..
Jim says
I used to think the Ivy League prepared students to be top lawyers, doctors, businessmen and women, scientists, programmers, statisticians, professors, sociologists, theologians, politicians, publishers, authors, journalists, etc. You can become a drag queen for free. Just go to a drag bar and watch the performers. Make friends with some and take tips from them. Probably there are adult education courses for a very minimal fee at night school. Do you need to go to an accredited Drag Queen college? What is the accrediting institution for drag queens? Can you perform for the armed forces or at the White House?

You know muhammed{star dust.. whatever ..be upon him} would probably love a good drag show.
I mean it is well known he used to like wear Aisha’s dress{Sahih Bukhari 2442}when he was channeling his ‘allah’ in that cave.

What a thoughtful comment

I always thought that Princeton was a big time, high class university with serious, high level courses. Apparently even universities such as Princeton are turning themselves into some kind of bad joke. Is it April Fool’s Day come early? How could any university consider that learning to perform as a drag performer is something that a university should teach? It is beyond a joke. Parts of this world just seem to get more insane each day.
Siddi Nasrani says
Please tell me it is all a sick joke. Who in there right mind pay all that money to have a joke degree. This proves to me that America is really sick & has lost it’s way in this world.
tim gallagher says
Yes, Siddi Nasrani, i just can’t believe it either. As you say, it is a joke degree and at Princeton University. I live in Australia so I don’t really understand what is going on, but universities like Princeton or Harvard always seem like places where serious courses exist, so this seems ridiculous. I can’t imagine that anyone would sign up for such a load of garbage anyway. The USA does seem to be in a pretty sad state although probably not much worse than many western countries these days, including Australia which, before long, seems to follow a lot of this sort of nonsense.
Mary C says
No sane parent would support or be proud of this garbage!
bill says
PU seems to have lost all sense pf dignity and decorum
James Lincoln says
Princeton alumni should stop all donations to this Leftist university.
Cancel them.
