Such was once the goal of a "liberal arts" education. Literature, rhetoric, logic, appreciation of art and music, history, civics, etc. all worked together to stimulate the young mind to acquire his or her own information and formulate opinions and philosophies from life itself. Alas, this is no more. Liberal arts is dead, and "critical theory" has ascended the throne. No more are the young educated in how to think, but they are indoctrinated in what they should think. The result is pure evil.
