Some Incoming Duke Freshman Refused To Read "Fun Home" Because It Goes Against Their Core Religious Values

These closed-minded kids have more to fear in
Duke’s class on classics of American Lit:
Eliot was an anti-Semite, Faulkner was a drunk
And Hemingway didn’t like God a bit.

Other classes surely will be along these lines:
Their pursuit of limited knowledge
Would be smoother if they attended a private
Religious university … or college.

Suddenly and violently strike. That
Is true but amateur counter-terrorists
Are just as prepared to strike back.
