I tell ya wut, I cherish The Liberal education I got, and I got it before it all went to hell!
Like it had been in America for over 200+ years.
Marxists is what fucked up education in America.

Liberal Education just means you're able to learn things, simply put.
It wouldn't matter since you and your kids are not elite students, and do not have the ability, talent, or drive to be among the best in your chosen professions. I didn't have the grades for Harvard or Columbia either.
There's nothing wrong with just being competent and getting paid to do a serviceable job.
But Nobel laureate Richard Feynman and Holberg laureate Jurgen Habermas were not looking for B-plus and A-minus undergraduates from LSU and Akron State to mentor.

You cannot make an assertion like that and prove it, retard.
And you are a pretentious piece of fucking hubris-filled dog turd. Shut The Fuck Up.
Seriously. Stop taking airs above your station, you fucking fuck.
I had a 4.1+ GPA and was offered a full ride at one of the most prestigious colleges in this great country, boy.
Turned it down because I knew how it was there, all the richest kids in the country went there, and I'm just a poor shnook.
Was friends with some of them, and I know.
No I can't chip in $15K for an island party this weekend. (back then)

Riiiiight, it's "pretentious"
to admit I did not have the grades for an elite school, and it's "pretentious" to make the common-sense observation that elite graduate students tend to study under elite professors That was 50 years ago when he was 70 years old, retired from Cambridge University, and decades past his historic landmark days in quantum physics at Cambridge.
It's hilarious that my posts bothered you so much you had to do ten minutes of frantic Google research to look that little factoid up.
I've mentioned Dirac numerous times on this board. Did you actually think he was some obscure, little-known minor scientist?

I love your special pleading. It's always refreshing.

LOL. I knew it would trigger you if someone thought you didn't know who Paul Dirac was.
Hilarious! You had to frantically Google for ten minutes to find a Florida retirement job Dirac did in his 70s, decades after his historic quantum physics research days at Cambridge University
You're the one that claimed I would have to Google to know who Dirac was.
Proving you disastrously wrong is not "triggered"
Dirac is known to any serious college student who had a few semesters of physics and bothers to read popular science magazines. What exactly led you to believe he was obscure and mysterious? lol
Most of your comments are idiotic. Hard to believe you are intelligent.You cannot make an assertion like that and prove it, retard.

Feel free to write to the committee that awards the Fields Medal and complain to them that the profession of mathematics does not need a prestigious award.

Probably because you're not very smart.
Listen, I didn't want to go there, you made me go there.
I'm not out to rag on ya.
Most of your comments are inane insults. Hard to believe you have intelligence.
I don’t buy that Nazism is proof that higher learning doesn’t work. The point of fact is that the Nazis were very much against higher education in many ways and wanted to constrain and control it.

Douthat: But it’s liberal arts colleges that are on the chopping block first.
Then there’s this, I think, political and cultural polarization that’s eaten away at the humanities from both sides, with the left critiquing the very idea of a canon, that it’s all just dead white male privilege, and the right saying: Oh, these liberal arts academics. They’re all just irredeemably woke. They should be defunded in favor of more useful subjects.

The seven classic liberal arts include logic, grammar, arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, rhetoric, music, logic.
Somewhere in the last 40 years, Rush Limbaugh and Fox convinced right-wingers who never went to college that a liberal arts major means basically taking basket weaving, black studies, and feminist studies courses.
The liberal arts education in college still means a classical liberal education with coursework in math at least up to analytical geometry, science electives, language and literature, social studies, and civics.
