It's the job of a political pundit to fill the heads of the American public with their viewpoints, but Glenn Beck takes that notion quite literally with his new online school, Beck University. The Fox News commentator, who took one class at Yale before dropping out, claimed on his radio show in June that the government uses school to indoctrinate people. "You're darn right we should abolish public schools," he said.

The academic program, which Beck says is a "unique academic experience bringing together experts in the fields of religion, American history and economics," will feature Faith 101, Hope 101 and Charity 101, taught by a handful of conservative commentators.

Do you think B.U. will one day be able to achieve an enrollment high enough to reach critical idiocy, and finally collapse into a black hole of stupid?

If so, will it be dense enough to rid humanity of the mind cancer that these assholes peddle?

I wonder what RationalWiki's going to think of this. Especially after their extensive critiques of Andy Schlafy's classes on Conservapedia.
