[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Choice of area of concentration may be more important than choice of college.  Unfortunately, academics (more often in the humanities) have forgotten the meaning of the term "liberal arts." A liberal arts education is supposed to develop critical thinking skills to choose the best path in life, not to indoctrinate.[/quote]

You think it’s “the academics” who have forgotten that?  I suppose even if that is true, at least they knew what it means at one time.

Funniest post in the thread.[/quote]

Who lacks critical thinking skills? Yesterday the Trump administration released the "1776 Report," allegedly history but without any footnotes or citations. So, a piece of propaganda reviled by all reputable historians, the ones who actually have critical thinking skills (and work at the schools OP wants to avoid).

Not seeing how that is relevant to op’s question.  Not everyone trying to avoid overly political campuses is a trumper.   There are plenty of centrists and even mildly conservative sorts who don’t feel comfortable in the current academic climate at most schools.  [/quote]
