VICTOR DAVIS HANSON writes in defense of the liberal arts. He's right, of course, but the liberal arts he cherishes no longer exists. As one commenter notes: " ... liberal arts [have turned] into a melodrama of race, class and gender oppression. Liberal arts are a sweet fruit that can transform individuals and societies into reasoning and moral beings, but that fruit is completely rotten now ... and thus poisonous. It should be thrown out until it can no longer be used as an excuse to indoctrinate ...."
