Liberal education is an oxymoron.

The word "liberal" here is used in its original definition...the way it was used before it was co-opted by the left to mean "Marxist."

For example, "liberalism" is a political and economic doctrine that emphasizes individual autonomy, equality of opportunity, and the protection of individual rights.

Here is the Lockean use of that word:
Historically, liberalism meant individual freedom, private property, free enterprise, and impartial rule of law under constitutionally limited government.

Do you understand the traditional and proper use of the term “liberal”? The word as understood before the socialists communists co-opted it?
