A liberal arts education is a degree in B.S., and I’m not talking about a Bachelor of Science.

Instead of teaching students how to approach problems from a multidisciplinary perspective, today’s U.S. higher education system is teaching students how to deceive people.

Employers looking to hire hard-working, competent employees may want to think twice about the quality of a liberal arts education.

Short statureand a receding hairline aren’t Daniels’ only obstacles to thenomination. He must explain how someone who supports free-market economics could ever be in favor of socialized insurance.
