You cannot force or make mandatory for anyone to take a specific course
It falls under humanities which most disciplines require a humanities course, but it does not have to be that specific course.

Imagine scheduling classes, and this is the only Humanities course available.

They already require various freshmen level courses that are mostly useless, which drives up the costs of attendance just to prop up shitty departments.

I think this course requirement would be just fine for degree programs that would benefit from it, but not all degree programs like they were/are trying to do. This would be fine for African American studies and other sociology type degrees.
This has no business being a requirement for all LSU degrees. This course would provide no enhancement whatsoever to a degree in engineering, agriculture, math, and a long list of others. What's next, require a Viking culture course for everyone, or require everyone to take thermodynamics? I could see a music major being forced to take engineering courses. It probably wouldn't work out so well.
It's as if they keep trying to recreate LSU into an HBCU. Requiring everyone at an HBCU to take this AAAS course is just fine in my opinion, but not at a non-HBCU. Instead of trying to turn LSU into an HBCU, wouldn't it just be easier and more effective to attend an HBCU for those that are seeking that college learning experience?
The bottom line is what I've seen others say: Woke LSU sucks!
