If “students must be exposed to the vibrant diversity of a democratic
society so that they possess the liberty to live a life of their own
design,” as Rob Reich
says, how did I end up being a fiscal policy analyst? I certainly was
not exposed to such people as a student. You can, however, buy
appropriate Christmas ornaments. How many students today will end up in professions that don’t even exist now?

Why
don’t we expose students to the vibrant diversity of thought and the
philosophical foundations of democratic society so that they possess
the analytical ability to deal with the goofy ideas of academics like
Reich?
