The course alone may not be bad. What needs to be eliminated are most of the humanities degrees.

What a shame, though. In the early seventies, my Liberal Arts French degree got me a solid, well-paying job with benefits because, at the time, just completing college with decent grades was recognized as an accomplishment.

Now, everyone understands it’s meaningless because everyone gets an A.

Studying English literature or allied fields is how most people who need to write well for a living used to learn mastery of the mother tongue - you know, journalists, lawyers, that sort of thing. It used to concentrate on the classics and serious modern writing. Now I suppose woke studies can substitute where you learn to hate, especially yourself or anyone who looks like they are trying to succeed through self-merit.
