Why anyone would allow their child to study humanities at any university--much less foot the bill for it--is beyond me.
Spare me. Conservatives need not be anti-intellectual. I studied the humanities at an Ivy League university. What did that mean? I took several courses in the Western canon covering the Bible, Greek and Roman mythology and drama, Homer, Virgil, Church thinkers such as Aquinas and Augustine, great works of western literature from Dante to Dostoevsky. I studied ethics, masterworks of Western Art, classical music, Constitutional interpretation from an avowed conservative professor, economic history of the US taught by a very pro-capitalist professor and so forth.
I graduated and got a job in my field. I think my family got what we paid for.
