Summary
Young America’s Foundation released its 2026-27 “Comedy & Tragedy Report,” highlighting courses at Columbia, Princeton, Yale, Penn, Stanford and Swarthmore that it says reflect progressive ideology rather than core academics.
Examples in the report include Columbia’s “Religion and Nasty Women” and “Marxism and Cultural Theory,” Princeton and Yale classes on Bad Bunny, Penn’s “Decolonizing French Food,” and Stanford’s “Gender in the Wild.”
YAF tied the course list to tuition costs, estimating a three-credit class at Princeton at $5,778 and at Penn at $5,613 using Education Department tuition data.
The group said it reviewed 2026-27 course catalogs from Ivy League, Big Ten, SEC and Pac-12 schools plus top liberal-arts colleges, reproducing titles and descriptions from university websites without edits.
The report extends YAF’s annual critique, published since 1995, that higher education lacks ideological diversity; several universities named did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
