"Every degree, in Texas at least, has to have Core Requirements from the humanities to make students more well rounded people. You don't get to skip Writing in the Arts, Philosophy/Ethics, multiple History courses, etc, because you're a biologist or data scientist."
Sounds a bit excessive if you have to take all of them, but I wouldn't want pure science students to be able to avoid the humanities or social sciences taught at that level.
Given all those requirements, are students still getting enough of their major education to be immediately employable? Apparently so.
How about to get into grad schools?
"It's still the mantra. The liberal arts, the humanities, poli sci, all the classes the State of Texas makes students take is to increase their voter efficacy."
A well educated populace improves the general welfare of the United States. "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States."
Take all the scientists, sociologists, and nail technicians in the country. If people can't even agree on word definitions, all the education available is not going to help.
Core Requirements can assist at that point, by the way.
Oh, did I make a mistake saying GOP instead of MAGA?
I don't think so. Only the fringe GOP on the national level is separating itself from MAGA, which is why it's news when it happens.
In the national GOP, only the fringe tends toward moderation.
I don't care what Eberly says about locals. In the parts of Virginia where I've spent most of my time, local GOPers wouldn't dare say anything negative for public consumption about Trump. If you go over into Tennessee, it's Trump down to the school boards.
