You can't defend what you don't understand.
Did you even read the article you cut and pasted from?
So, you don't want to discuss at all. You started a thread to troll, in order flame.
You lack the knowledge to debate or discuss.

Look, you are a boring troll.
So that is a "no" then?
Liberal Arts was known as "General Education" until the 1980's. It was basically an undeclared major for those who weren't serious about building a career, but sought a degree for cultural status. Generally those who did apply a general ed degree to a profession went into teaching.
"Liberal Arts" is a degraded form of the old G.E. - but perverted by shit such as gender or ethnic studies. Liberal Arts basically means "too fucking stupid to earn a legitimate degree."
The liberal arts have been known as the liberal arts for 2,800 years. The Greeks came out of the Greek Dark Ages with liberal and servile arts(skills). A free person would study the liberal arts, and a slave would study the servile arts. The Greek understanding of the liberal arts was adopted by the Romans, and was preserved by the Catholic Church, Byzantine Empire, and the Arabs during the Dark Ages. The first liberal arts college in what was going to become the US was Harvard University in 1636.
All of that happened before the 1980's, and none of that was called "General Education."
Liberal arts schools usually have declared majors. People also get educations beyond their major.
Completely untrue.
The seven classical liberal arts are arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, music, logic, grammar, rhetoric.
That was the core educational foundation of European universities since the High Middle Ages.
A liberal arts education also does not mean you get out of taking math and science. Highschool still required one to take core math and science curriculum to be able to graduate.
There was a vocational track in my highschool people could chose to go on, otherwise at a minimum students had to take algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and science requirements.

so no feminist dance theory?
There never was any feminist dance theory class at any accredited university I attended, and if it even exists anywhere it is too insignificant to even write posts about.
