Too-liberal arts

Rolph Recto wrote a column on Wednesday that’s full of ironies on multiple levels. He takes a superficially relativistic approach to the value of different courses of study, but fails to see the overarching relativistic nature of the societal costs and benefits of different jobs. Governor Rick Scott did not say that the state of Florida has no need for any liberal arts majors — he made a case against a marginal increase in the rate at which Florida educates such majors.
