It used to be that Liberal Arts prepared students to be able to read challenging material with comprehension, to write lucidly and logically (correct spelling and grammar was a condition of entry to college, not something to be taught there in remedial classes), and to be able to persuasively argue your opinions with data and logic.

All we have left now is the institutionalized grievance industry.

Yes! In short, to be able to think and seek Truth. Today, you can’t. As Bloom described and predicted, it’s the Closing of the American Mind.
