a liberal arts education isn’t what it used to be. Time was when it might have taught one how to think and communicate, to use logic and reason, to express a point in writing or speech. No longer. Now it’s just a bunch of Marxist crap.

Years back one pursued a liberal arts direction in college only until a more targeted educational goal was selected and many of the liberal arts courses could suffice as electives. Now with rabid leftism taught at college campuses liberal arts degrees are virtually worthless plus those liberal establishments charge a fortune in skyrocketed tuition costs. Times have changed-—train for a skilled vocation and seek diligently for an opening opportunity.

Fifty years ago public high school graduates had more of a liberal arts education than most college BA recipients today.
They even knew the difference between their, there and they’re, I am amazed how many people can’t crack that nut now. We have a large group on FR who have not a ghost of an idea which is which.

Let’s not even talk about to, too and two, lose and loose or the proper usage of I and me, the list goes on and on.
