“Ivies are political”. God that is stupid word salad.  Please ignore this idiocy.  I guarantee more polarized thinking at ND and Baylor than at Dartmouth or Cornell.

You deplorable traitorous capitol storming mouth breathers will never learn.[/quote]
😂 we hit a nerve, clearly. [/quote]

Yes, you ignorant traitorous POS have been hitting nerves with your racist sexist white supremacism for year and it came to a head recently.

Also, this is yet another thread where you don't understand the meaning of the term "liberal arts".  It means the opposite of what you think.

Get your knuckles off the ground and learn something. [/quote]

You know, just because a kid wants to go to college and focus on their studies instead of politics does not mean they are automatic racists. You are seriously making pp’s point for them.   [/quote]

Lol.  The irony.  It’s soooooo funny.  “Ivies are political”.   So stupid.  OK, no prob, don’t go.  I am happy to make PPs point for them.  Proud, even.

What about PPs point that you don’t understand what liberal arts means?[/quote]

DP.  I think it is pretty clear that you would never qualify to go to any Ivy League school so it is interesting and odd that you're so defensive of them.  What gives?  Are you just a bad troll or are you off your meds?[/quote]

Hurl insults away.  Does not bother me.  I did not attend an ivy but my kids do, so I am experienced to that degree.

Now, answer the question: What about PPs point that you don’t understand what liberal arts means?[/quote]

NP here but the definition of "liberal arts" in relation to colleges is nicely defined on Niche

"What is meant by the term “liberal arts”?

Liberal arts has nothing to do with being liberal, and originally, it actually had nothing to do with arts. So what is it all about?

To find that out, you have to go back to the era of classical antiquity. Liberal arts grew out of this period in which certain studies were considered liberales, or worthy of a free person. At the time, that consisted of just three subjects: grammar, rhetoric, and logic. Together, these were known as the trivium. Other subjects — arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy — were folded in during Medieval times, and the trivium expanded to a quadrivium.

Today, there are far more disciplines that fall under the liberal arts curriculum, including — surprise! — art, literature, philosophy, social sciences (like history, anthropology, and economics) natural sciences, math, and many more.

Despite these evolutions, the goal of a liberal arts education has remained the same: to create an individual whose education is robust and versatile. Students of liberal arts are expected to be knowledgeable about a wide range of subjects, and to have developed skills that translate well to a variety of scenarios."
