Sad News from Arkansas

Paul Greenberg, one of my favorite columnists, notes with sadness (which I share) that the University of Arkansas has roughly halved the core curriculum in an effort to "get more graduates."  More graduates who don't know the difference between Plato and Play-Dough--what a bargain!  It's not like an educated citizen needs to be able to figure out what the Federalist Papers or Constitution actually mean, after all.

Oh, wait a minute....

we already know that harvard professors cant read the constitution, so why should AR grads be any different?

I guess you've got a point......though as you know from being in and loving the South, I would have hoped that that region would have some historical reasons for understanding why limited government is an important concept.
