This is news.

In reality, that's precisely what's it's designed to do. Which you would concede, if you could honestly opine on the insanity taking place at colleges right now. I'm not sure that most of what goes on at college isn't intellectually subtractive.

I'm not sure you understand what liberal arts means.

if the meaning of the term "liberal" has evolved in education as it has in politics then it would mean "marxist arts"

You know what? I have asked you a simple question 20 times on this forum, and you won't answer. Because you can't. So go ahead, and tell me what "liberal arts" means, and the value it adds.

The new liberal norm isn't debate but to silence those who disagree with you.

I have a tecnical degree from Northeastern in the 80's. I had to take very few liberal arts courses back then and I looked at them as easy gpa boosters because of the regurgitate the lecture method.

The classes gave a good foundation because 20+ years later in a technical job 80% of it is soft skills.
