   The colleges that ditch liberal arts are the colleges that will produce ignorant students incapable of recognizing threats to their freedom and autonomy.

     I think this is an issue in the UK too. STEM doesn’t encourage reading for pleasure, debating current political and societal issues or realising there is an ethical dimension to both economics and science. Without an understanding of our historical past and how it plays out in the present, STEM graduates accept the status quo because they don’t even realise questioning it is a possibility. Who benefits? Hmmm…

     @StillIRise1963 I've been worried about the STEM emphasis in US education for a while. I want people who vote to have a good grounding in history & gov.
