Why my liberal arts education mattered.
Scenes from a Broken Hand · They Gave Me the World
No shit. The greatest thinkers know & profess such for millenia. Only #dumbasses who cannot think for themselves, or properly, gave up on #LiberalArts long ago.
My MD, PhD,, business & other colleagues worldwide wrote about the mandate of #Humanities#Liberal #Arts for cultivating the greatest problem-solvers. Such is in my eighth book (the only free one I offer) at https://drhermansjr.carrd.co, DrHermanSJr.

She was economically illiterate as well as socially illiterate. This is why #STEM courses absolutely need a strong #LiberalArts component to them, too many STEM students just don't know how the rest of the world works.
Ex-KKK child stands against white nationalism. They came out as transgender in their memoir "The Klansman's Son." I would like to point out they graduated from the remarkable New College in Florida which has been targeted by Gov Ron DeSantis. #WhiteNationalism #AmericanPolitics #NewCollege #PublicEducation #Autocracy #transgender #liberalarts #Florida #DeSantis

Taking to #Facebook on 16 May, the school’s #nuns #hitback, saying his #comments did not represent the “#Catholic, #Benedictine, #liberalarts #college that our #founders envisioned and in which we have been so invested”.
The school wishes to be known as #inclusive.

Ancient truths buried in our modern world
The term “#LiberalArts” came from a world where servitude and slavery were the norm, where the power structures of society worked to limit self-determination and world-shaping to a select few. I wonder how different that world really is from ours. @inthehands

#College closures or mergers have been announced about once per WEEK so far this year (on average). “That’s up from a little more than two a month last year, according to …SHEEO.”
Surely demand for some majors is changing more than others. For example, if small #liberalArts colleges are closing or merging at faster rates than #STEM and professional schools, then it is not demand for #higherEducation per se that is waning, but demand for a few academic disciplines.
The Hechinger Report · Colleges are now closing at a pace of one a week. What happens to the students?
Feeling unduly proud of having changed the blade on the lawnmower today.
In my defense, the heavy-on-the-humanities education I enjoyed did not cover anything along those lines. So I'm marking this down as a success for the lifelong learner thing.

Do you know the 7 liberal arts? 
Grammar, rhetoric, dialectic, arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy: they constitute the basis of teaching in the ancient and medieval educational system.

FTA: "The template is worth considering, even if it hasn’t yet reached your campus."
If you think your campus might be spared, think again.
