It means a lot about what you take. We don’t need more liberal arts / ethnic studies types. We do need hard science and, particularly, engineers. But then that’s hard and might hurt some student’s self esteem.
And success or failure is measurable and based upon objective reality. IOW, you can't ace the class by regurgitating collectivist drivel spouted by the prof. Liberals need not apply.
I think we could actually use more liberal arts types. Unfortunately the only places teaching liberal arts seems to be Hillsdale College and a few others.
