Good show resurrecting this from seven years ago!

The more things change ... one is led to wonder if those folks who were undergrad students when this thread began have changed their opinions any since then?

Looks like this thread degenerated into a food fight very quickly.

My own opinion is that all college graduates should be taught the basics of Western history and literature and good language skills. There is a basic canon of information that at one time everyone needed to learn to be considered educated. And, from my own experience, it makes life much more interesting and pleasureable.

That said, I think much of the pushback on this thread stems from the fact that lefty universities and professors have hijacked the humanities in many institutions and no longer teach the subject, but have made the departments bastions of political correctness if not outright socialist indoctrination.
