Liberal College Student Flashes Breasts To Class Then Sues Professor For Not Giving Her An A [VIDEO]

Pretentious and preposterous. It's a common misunderstanding among those who imagine themselves to be erudite and educated that those who disagree with their opinions are untermensch. Those with a superior self image have a bad history of enacting policies based on their perceived superiority. Eugenics was not the musing of a semi-educated rube.

To posit that wisdom is only acquired by sitting in a college classroom discounts the wisdom of most people in history. One wonders how wise King Solomon could have become if only he had taken a modern free-form art, a Chicano culture studies or a slam poetry class at Evergreen College. Just think of the great works Mozart might have produced had his parents the forethought to enroll him in a watercolor painting class at the local community college. And then there are the millions of wise people through the thousands of years who never attended college and whose names will never be known.

While poetry may be an art form, it's practice is largely a hobby, just as one would expect to be the outcome of the other curiccula mentioned above. Your assertion about the relationship between art and truth is an unfounded opinion. A certain amount of navel-gazing is understandable, but one has to eat.
