[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The argument against literature is about as intellectual as the argument against math because we all won't go into STEM fields.[/quote] Yes. Most math is not relevant. I have never, in my life, had to solve a quadratic equation outside of math class. Also, biology. I don't need to know the parts of the cell! And chemistry -- balancing an equation? I mean, really. And don't even get me started on physics, especially electromagnetism. Totally ridiculous. (However, I do, in all seriousness, support anybody's efforts to get The Catcher in the Rye off the mandatory reading list. It's only on there because somebody 40 years ago thought it was relevant to teenagers. It's not.)[/quote]
