New CAR-2-06. This class was awesome if totally not following the course description (something that half the class was bugged by, half the class kinda apathetic about.) Basically, we looked at different movements in American history and connected them, looking at the tactics they used... also killed a lot of trees to read dissenting literature and such. Very useful for anyone interested in movements/American history.

Dissent rocked! But be warned: in our year, the first year, it was American-based. The description on the CTY website has been changed to show this. Overall, though, it was a beyond spiffy history course, and the people were amazing.

The instructors and students of Dissent were also known, in Carlisle Session 2 '06, to be incredibly competitive when it came to childhood playground games such as duck duck goose, Simon Says, Red Light Green Light, and most importantly, SPUD, which was given top priority by the classAt the beginning of the session Dissent challenged classes like Greek and Latin to games, but when they defeated all of their foes without contest, including a rather embarrasing win over Game Theory at Simon says, the dissenters just chose to play SPUD amongst themselves.

Dissent is a Humanities course in the CTY program with no prerequisites. Its course code is DISS.

Course Description

Dissent focuses on the different movements in American (as opposed to world, the original course description) history, and the different conflicting ideas which shaped these time periods. The course studies the tactics that these opposing forces used and examines dissenting literature in these periods.

Class History

Dissent was introduced to Carlisle in 06.2. It was taught by Cory and TA'd by Pat, the latter known as the "TA from Purgatory." Students in this class remember childhood playground games, such as duck duck goose, Simon Says, Red Light Green Light, and most importantly, SPUD. The class beat many other classes in SPUD before eventually deciding that the only possible challenge would be playing amongst its own members. McKenzie Hull, who was also Passionfruit Emperor, was the undefeated champion.

Also in this class, David invented the word "goregasm", and the class spread the good word of Al Gore throughout CTY.

Much of this course was spent watching movies, including:

  • Birth of a Nation: Gore! (Racist)
  • Modern Times: Gore! (Bumbling)
  • Control Room: Gore! (Jounalistic)
  • The Weather Underground: Gore (Anarchistic)
  • Iron Jawed Angels: Gore! (Feminist)
  • An Inconveinent Truth: Gore! (Al)
