You are currently witnessing the result of defunding humanities in favor of technical education.

The humanities departments are where the cheering of this is the loudest.

I think "citation needed" is appropriate here. If we are bringing US education system into this conversation, the sheer number of humanities ( and the people they apparently teach ) suggests the opposite of what your post suggests.

Dare I say, if more technical education was required, some of the issues in US could be, at least, ameliorated.

I have a feeling most of the professors in the Humanities departments would be not at all sympathetic to Parler or all the deplatforming happening around Donald Trump and his supporters. If anything they'd be broadcasting the Karl Popper "Paradox of Tolerance" as justification for everything that's been happening this week.

Humanities students do not and should not merely repeat their professors’ opinions. To do so almost entirely misses the point of being educated.
