"So the news is out. Harvard will be offering a course on Taylor Swift in the spring. The professor, who is 52, is a Swift fan and describes her interest in Swift — "she's someone who worked to become herself and makes her own decisions in a way that brings people along with her and doesn't alienate people." I suppose you could say the same about Shakespeare, though he did alienate some people who then wound up in engineering or medicine..."
The next paragraph says there won't be a final exam, "they're no fun." Ours was fun yesterday, wasn't it? Not alienating?
