I found an online syllabus for a psychology class at a large state university. Here are some excerpts.
“This course includes detailed lectures and readings about emotionally charged topics such as sex, infidelity, rape, jealousy, violence, warfare, family conflict, mental illness, parasites, disease, genetic mutations, death, and birth.”
“If you are not comfortable watching videos and lectures that present graphic images of human violence, sexuality, and conflict, this is not the right course for you.”
“Also, this course may be personally challenging if you have a strong literal belief in the creation stories of the Old Testament, the Koran, the Hindu Rig-Veda and Upanishads, the Native American cultures, or other traditions.”
“If you have Creationist beliefs, you’ll have to make your own decision about whether this course is right for you.”
