DENVER (AP) - A conservative group that took issue with a Colorado college offering credit for campaigning for President Barack Obama isn't happy with the response from state officials.
Americans For Prosperity called for a state investigation after Adams State University offered an independent-study credit for working on the Obama campaign. The school withdrew the course because no students signed up. School officials said students could have gotten credit for working for Republican Mitt Romney, too.
The Department of Higher Education said in a letter that the department would investigate if the course were limited to supporters of a particular party. A spokesman for AFP called the response unacceptable and said the group would take up the matter with Adams State administrators.

I’m sure the college was charging their regular tuition for the privilege of working for the one. Just goes to show that you can spend a lot of money going to college and not come out with any useful knowledge to show for it.

They seem to be so stunningly brazen, that they could not get caught, that this farcical course would not be noticed. Once tackled, then the, “Oh, ah, sure you could work for Romney, bla, bla bla.”
Just like the omission about God, and then the hilarious DNC vocal vote, three times, to readmit God when it was clear that 2/3rds were not achieved. Are Americans even watching all of this? Do they even care?

I got a kick out of it saying that they cancelled the course as not enough students signed up. Maybe the college kids are more informed than I thought they were.
