So you advocate ditching courses in history and government so our citizenry will be even more ignorant of our heritage?

Your idea would reduce universities to trade schools.

Nothing against trade schools, but they already exist.

The ideal university education requires a core curriculum that gives the student at least a basic knowledge of the major disciplines, as well as training and certification in a chosen field.

As the parent of three Texas A&M engineering students, I know it can be done and done well.
