Today I saw another small, liberal arts college, this time in New York, closed its doors. It made me sad. I am the product of a small, liberal arts college. I was a poor kid whose bootstraps were made of loans and grants and help from professors. One of them bought me books when I was too broke to afford them. I can never repay her. There is no amount of money that could repay her kindness. She was the first person who told me I could be a visionary. She should know. She is one.

Is it the fault of the school for being poorly run? Maybe. It could be. Some schools are run by assholes who failed up so spectacularly that they get to the top, and can’t do anything but fuck it up for everyone.

Could it also be that it is cool to shit on education now?

Hmmmm.

Maybe the elite fucks who have liberal arts educations keep shitting on liberal arts education so that the “little people” will not earn degrees and challenge them for their jobs. A sure fire way to keep people down is to convince them that they want to be down.

Education is a right. Can we get that fucking hashtag going? #educationisaright
