Universities shouldn't be able to force students to take nonsense liberal arts courses that have no relation to their major. For example, a STEM or Business major shouldn't have to take a feminist literature course in order to graduate.
As a recent college graduate that had to deal with this, it was infuriating to have to spend money on these nonsense liberal arts courses. The only reason universities force students to take these courses is to indoctrinate them, and because they realize they can milk Pell Grants and Federal loans. These pointless courses can be replaced with courses that actually relate to the student's major, and you could probably eliminate an entire years worth of courses just by getting rid of them (thus turning a 4-year degree into a 3-year degree).
I also fail to understand why universities are able to offer useless majors to students like "Women's studies", sociology, anthropology, philosophy, etc. Universities profit immensely by taking advantage of clueless students, and then these same students wonder why they can't land a job after graduating.
Liberal Arts wasn’t always so fucked up, it was a legitimate foundation for holistic education that has been turned into SJW prerequisite bullshit.
Yep, over the past several decades the left has really taken over the liberal arts field. Its a real shame as learning a subject such as U.S. history is extremely important. Unfortunately, if you take a history course at a university today there's probably going to be a commie teaching it. They've dominated the field for so long, that the vast majority of liberal arts degrees aren't worth the paper they're printed on. It's best to just refuse to provide Pell Grants and loans to students that choose to take up these majors.
Very true! Also think about philosophy, if it were serving it’s true purpose students would understand the value of their minds and liberties.
Don’t even get me started on how anthropology is now racist.
Yep. Got my degree in History in 2005. Of the 5 professors I can remember, 4 were flaming "Socialists."
One particular quote about Mexico: "We helped them get electricity when what they needed was Socialism!"
