College education is really educational, guys and girls, but tacos!

Students enrolled this semester in a writing course focused entirely on Mexican food at the University of Kentucky are meeting their “Community, Culture and Citizenship in the USA” general education core curriculum requirement by taking the class, the university’s website states.

The class, “Taco Literacy: Public Advocacy and Mexican Food in the U.S. South” has undergraduates “explore the history and networks of Mexican and Mexican American food in the United States,” according to its syllabus.
