Charlotte Iserbyt (Former Reagan Head of Education): GOODBYE FREEDOM!!! CARNEGIE COMMUNIST 1934 PLAN A DONE DEAL
She forwarded this to me this morning....
The University of
Wisconsin at Stevens Point is reportedly discussing a plan to eliminate
13 majors including English, philosophy, history and Spanish.
The
campus — one of 11 campuses in the University of Wisconsin system —
would instead focus on programs that have "clear career pathways," The Washington Post reported.

“C.S. Lewis on Liberal Arts Education” by Gregory Dunn which was
published in the newsletter On Principle from the John M. Ashbrook Center for Public Affairs
(April 1999, Vol. VII, No. 2). Excerpts from Dunn’s article follow:The first reason we study the liberal arts has to do with freedom. That freedom is an
integral part of the liberal arts is borne out of [C.S.] Lewis’s observation that “liberal comes of
course from the Latin, liber, and means free.”11 Such an education makes one free, according
to Lewis, because it transforms the pupil from “an unregenerate little bundle of appetites” into
“the good man and the good citizen.”12 We act most human when we are reasonable, both
in thought and deed. Animals, on the other hand, act wholly out of appetite. When hungry,
they eat; when tired, they rest. Man is different. Rather than follow our appetites blindly we
can be deliberate about what we do and when we do it. The ability to rule ourselves frees
us from the tyranny of our appetites, and the liberal arts disciplines this self-rule. In other
words, this sort of education teaches us to be most fully human and thereby, to fulfill our
human duties, both public and private.

I caught this today thought you would have expected it to start sooner than later.
