I mean, I guess that's good, in the sense that it can't hurt to learn more about basically anything. But it seems to me that this is better placed as a portion of a mandatory history or social studies class in high school than a mandatory course at a school you're paying for by the credit.
Frankly, if any course should be mandatory, I think it should be some sort of philosophy - teaching people how to rationally and objectively consider questions and form ideas. Though actually that one seems to me appropriate for high school as well.
