[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While the liberal arts face a headwind because of STEM, they also hurt themselves by shifting from Shakespeare and Plato toward wokeness. It's a different kind of person who goes for what liberal arts are today and there aren't as many of them.

[quote=Anonymous]I was looking up colleges on this government College Navigator site and it was somewhat eye-opening how few students are majoring in liberal arts disciplines, with the exceptions being science and psychology. I guess it shouldn't be surprising given the high cost of college and economic uncertainty, but as a former social science major it makes me a bit sad.

Half of STEM is a liberal art.[/quote]

I've been wondering why nobody has pointed this out...[/quote]

Because they are too busy  lamenting the death of liberals arts like Sociology and the populariry of liberal arts like early childhood music education, so they don't have time to open a dictionary to look up what "liberal arts" means
