Sam Goldman vs. the NAS on Defending Liberal Education

Our friend Sam is mostly right in dissing right-wing political correctness.

Liberal education needs to be separated from any political agenda.

And what’s wrong with Bowdoin is that it really doesn’t pride itself in teaching anything in particular at all. So there’s probably still room for a student who knows what he or she is doing to find enough good courses there. But the student without the right guidance is in really bad shape given that there are no real requirements and what’s offered is pretty random in content and quality.
