In Defense of the Liberal Arts

[Winston Smith]

During the 1960s and 1970s, committed liberals thought we could short-circuit the process of liberal education by creating advocacy classes with the suffix "studies." Black studies, Chicano studies, community studies, environmental studies, leisure studies, peace studies, woman's studies and hundreds more were designed to turn out more socially responsible youths. Instead, universities too often graduated zealous advocates who lacked the broadly educated means to achieve their predetermined politicized ends.

They should combine all these special leftist political interest "studies" majors into one, called Too Stupid For A Real Major Studies.

Seriously, do you ever run into someone with one of those "degrees" and not think "oh jeez, another socialist dumbass"?

Schools should just stamp all such diplomas "Permanently Unemployable" to avoid any future fraud claims by the alleged students.
