Dissent is a Humanities course in the CTY program with no prerequisites. Its course code is DSET, and it is offered at Los Angeles and Seattle. It was previously offered at Carlisle and Loudonville.
Course Description
Dissent focused on the different movements in American (as opposed to world, the original course description) history, and the different conflicting ideas which shaped these time periods. The course studied the tactics that these opposing forces used and examined dissenting literature in these periods.
Class History
Dissent was introduced to Carlisle in 06.2. It was taught by Cory and TA'd by Pat Clark, the latter known as the "TA from Purgatory." Students in this class remember childhood playground games, such as duck duck goose, Simon Says, Red Light Green Light, and most importantly, SPUD. The class beat many other classes in SPUD before eventually deciding that the only possible challenge would be playing amongst its own members. McKenzie Hull, who was also Passionfruit Emperor, was the undefeated champion.
Also in this class, David invented the word "goregasm", and the class spread the good word of Al Gore throughout CTY.
Much of this course was spent watching movies, including:
- Birth of a Nation: Gore! (Racist)
- Modern Times: Gore! (Bumbling)
- Control Room: Gore! (Jounalistic)
- The Weather Underground: Gore (Anarchistic)
- Iron Jawed Angels: Gore! (Feminist)
- An Inconveinent Truth: Gore! (Al)
