Older students and the liberal arts
#15
I just don't like how people are either liberal or conservative in this world today. Either I have to be some communist tree hugging hippie, or I'm a un-educated gun toting redneck.

The students in university are adults, well performing ones at that. Their job is to critically examine information, I don't think you give them enough credit, and are treating them like children. Free speech is a two way street, if someone say something you don't agree with what can you really do?

Also there was a really interesting "dialogue" between Gates and Jobs regarding engineering or liberal arts study. It was argued that liberal arts grads might contribute more to society, particularly as entrepreneurs, as this education fosters critical thinking in every aspect of life.
