RE: Don’t Major in Underwater Ethnic Transgender Women’s Basket-Weaving Studies,”
I believe that is covered by the all-encompassing term called -— The ARTS.
Or as they usually call it — LIBERAL ARTS (I wonder.. why don’t we have CONSERVATIVE ARTS??)
You know why they call it the Liberal Arts, right? It has nothing to do with politics. Historically, the liberal arts were the fields of study a free man needed to know—rhetoric, logic, and grammar. Later, in medieval times, the liberal arts were expanded to include math, (by which they meant arithmetic and algebra), geometry, music, and astrology/astronomy.
Amazingly enough, for many centuries people did not go to college to learn how to do a particular job. They went only to improve their minds. It has only been in the past few decades that we’ve expected our colleges and universities to teach job skills and have become angry with them if they didn’t show kids how to earn a living.
