Yes. A lot of people here either were too young to remember a classical liberal arts education or condescend to it because they didn’t take a degree in it. It was once a bedrock of western civilization and can, perhaps, be achieved privately if one wants such an education. All the books are out there and haven’t been burned yet!

Western Civilization itself was a course everyone had to take.

From the column:

<>They got rid of the honorific term civilization and replaced it with culture, and then with cultures, which, they believed, eliminates the implication of the old term that some societies are civilized and others are savage.<>

The practice is called relativism. It is how our betters justify the muzzie and third-world invasion.
