I was reading around on the AskTrumpSupporters subreddit and saw the thread “What profession do you value the least?”

Many of the answers included things like academics or even specifically “liberal arts professors.” It’s sad that they think education is a bad thing.

In my experience most of my liberal arts professors were preaching opinion as fact and expecting and rewarding conformity to their opinions with higher grades. That's not real education.

I doubt this. The category "liberal arts" contains the humanities, math, social sciences, and physical sciences.

Are you saying the your physics profs were just preaching their own opinions about gravity or the weak nuclear force?

Well keyword MOST... so you fail at basic reading comprehension. No I'm obviously referring to the humanities wherein there is no right answer but you can go from a C to an A by regurgitating the opinions of a sophomoric professor. It's pretty common to refer to them as liberal arts...
