Good Afternoon.
The conservative Jonathan Sanford says that capitalism is ruining liberal arts education. But Sanford seems unaware that liberal arts colleges are a product of the private sector, and it was the government takeover in the twentieth century that is destroying the liberal arts ([link removed]) .
