Do you hate the liberal arts?

Their importance in college was really emphasized after World War II, as many of the leading Nazis were seen as non-intellectuals without moral restraints developed by the study of history, philosophy, theology, etc.

Liberal Arts should be cheap you’re right, but it also should be required.

A big problem with liberal arts currently is it is burgeoning with new fields of study that are truly political movements masquerading as scholarship -- where liberal arts should only be motivated by the search for truth.

So in a sense, the liberal arts aren't the liberal arts anymore.
