In turn, some of these people should not be in college wasting space of someone who could potentially have taken their spot. Murray sees the liberal arts education as simply learning the basics of the work force. He shows that if you have not learned the typical basics in high school, you should not be trying to go to
74% would recommend a liberal arts education to a young person they know today, so they will be prepared for success in today’s global economy.

In The Right to Tell the Truth, written by Ann Marie B. Bahr, she states, “I did not know about David Horowitz’s “academic bill of rights”…but even if I had, I would have not thought that I had anything to fear from it” (Bahr). Staff members have been afraid of going too far with their personal political opinion because of the Academic Bill of Rights, which Bahr states she would not ever think would give her fear, but however it did. Being kept from showing personal and real interest on an opinion is like being trapped inside of a box. A professor should be able to express a statement about politics for various reasons such as it will help get a better understanding about a certain topic, or the matter of politics would not have came up in the first place. Although Bahr does talk about political points of views, she doesn’t say everything that needs to be said and doesn’t get to into it, because of the feeling that it isn’t allowed.
