Governor Bevin and Public Funding for College

Use of public funding for only job-friendly subjects made the Times.  But what could be a better use of public money than to educate good citizens in a republic like ours.  The idea of a liberal education is for a free person (liber = free), an autonomous person, capable of making judgments of all kinds, but mostly in selecting our political leaders.

Adults are parents, neighbors, community leaders and all sorts of roles that a liberal education contributes to fulfilling.  Maybe the governor has it reversed - a humanities or liberal arts concentration complemented by courses in economics, finance, technology might be better.  Because whatever success is achieved, whatever inventions appear, someone still has to make decisions, all kinds of decisions.  And no one knows the secret calculus that informs good decisions.

Good judgement will always be required, and political factors figure into any executives actions.
And don't technology titans and CEOs want our courts to work, our roads to be safe, our FDA, FAA, CDC to be highly capable?  It takes more than a spreadsheet or line of code to get that right.
