At a college in Maryland, you can take a class about South Park!
Love it or hate it, there’s no denying that South Park has made a huge impact on TV. The hit show has been on the air for 17 seasons. It boats over 200 episodes, a full length movie, several Emmy Awards, and guest stars like Jennifer Aniston and George Clooney.
The show’s biggest claim to fame, however, are its controversial episodes that often get right to the core of social issues. McDaniel College in Maryland offers a class run by a Philosophy lecturer and a Sociology professor that discusses the show’s topics of gay marriage, business ethics, race, and more. Students say that they find it easier to critically think these topics through and form their own opinions on them since they’re presented through the show first.
