EXCLUSIVE: Bad Bunny, Marxism and 'Nasty Women' among courses offered at Ivy League, elite colleges

EXCLUSIVE: From "Religion and Nasty Women" to "Decolonizing French Food," students at some of America’s most prestigious universities can take courses on Bad Bunny, Marxism, gender and even why dancing matters if the world is ending.
Collegiate conservative organization Young America’s Foundation (YAF) shared the eye-catching offerings in its 2026-27 "Comedy & Tragedy Report," obtained exclusively by Fox News Digital.
At Columbia University, "Religion and Nasty Women" takes its name in part from President Donald Trump’s "nasty woman" remark about Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign.
The course description says the phrase has since become a "badge of honor and a rallying cry for women’s empowerment." Students examine goddesses, prostitutes and virgins across several religious traditions in what the description calls a survey of "religious-based misogyny" and women’s responses to it.
Columbia also offers "Marxism and Cultural Theory," though the course description makes clear students shouldn’t expect a deep dive into Marx himself.
Bad Bunny, aka Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, may need to add college course namesake to his list of accomplishments, with the Puerto Rican musician suddenly inspiring multiple classes at elite universities.
No joke. Be vigilant with your children and grandchildren. Every corner they turn sees indoctrination opportunities!

Volkswagen Plans to Cut 50,000 Jobs Amid Dire Need to Reduce Costs
Facing growing competition from China and rapidly advancing technology, the German auto giant said Thursday its board had approved a “comprehensive” overhaul.The German automotive giant Volkswagen said on Thursday it would go forward with a significant restructuring, cutting about 50,000 additional jobs in the face of surging Chinese competition, high energy prices and a costly transition to electric vehicles.
The decision was announced after a meeting of Volkswagen’s supervisory board.
“This is a strong signal for the future of the Volkswagen Group,” Oliver Blume, the company’s chief executive, said in a statement.
The company had been in a standoff with unions representing its work force, which numbers more than 650,000 worldwide. But labor leaders backed the plan on Thursday.

Local tribes demonstrate how native imagery and team names depicts an outdated view of natives by reenacting traditional rituals and dancing around in loincloths.
I guess we should modify the team imagery to playing cards, casino chips and cigarettes to show how modern they have become.

The emotion of the day began to sink in for Robin Weeks early Saturday at the 80th annual Shinnecock Powwow.
It would be his final day dancing, he decided.
“I’ve enjoyed it; I’ve loved it,” said the former Shinnecock Tribal Council member and trustee. “Powwow was always very meaningful and very spiritual for me.”
He began dancing when he was about 9 years old and attended nearly every powwow since he was a child. But Weeks, who will soon turn 71, said the time has come to end his tenure as a dancer, in which he would showcase some of the oldest types of traditional dances.
“I’ve come to grips with the fact that this will be my last year dancing,” he said, adding that he had already scaled back from multiple days to one during the four-day powwow.
His decision coincided with a milestone moment as the Shinnecock celebrated eight decades and the sustained success of a powwow that continues to draw thousands of spectators. The second day of the powwow drew a huge crowd on a beautiful late summer day to the sacred space known as the Powwow Grounds for the celebration of the culture and traditions that date back centuries.
Co-master of ceremonies Charles K. Smith II welcomed the crowd and spoke about how they carry on traditions handed down from one generation to the next.
“As Shinnecock people, surrounded by the Hamptons, the wealth of the Hamptons, the fame of the Hamptons, we are still here living on the land our ancestors walked on, that our ancestors danced on,” he said
People travel from across the country to attend the powwow, like Leticia Morris, from Nevada City, Calif. She said her mom’s side of the family is Indigenous, and she comes back to Long Island every few years for the powwow.
“It’s my family and I’m here to celebrate,” she said during grand entry for several hundred dancers.
The powwow featured dozens of vendors whose booths lined the perimeter of the grounds. Around midday, the lines grew two-dozen deep for guests seeking Indian tacos, frybread, burgers and crab cakes.
Matt Hunter, 41, of Shirley, performed several songs and played guitar early in the day, showcasing a mix of Bob Marley and Van Morrison covers and original songs.
“This is the annual family reunion for me,” he said, adding that he looks forward to reconnecting with many of his second and third cousins as they celebrate their Shinnecock heritage.
Jared Reyes, 50, of North Carolina, wore bright orange bustles on the back of his regalia, which symbolize how he’s a fancy dancer. Getting outfitted in the regalia is a process that he started either head to toe or toe to head, he said.
A Cherokee descendant, Reyes said even though this was his first time back to Shinnecock in about 10 years, it still feels like home after all the time he spent on the grounds as a youngster. He said getting to attend the 80th powwow made it extra special.
“And then you see a lot of old faces that you haven’t seen since you were a little kid,” he said. “It just kind of brings it back.”
