I fully agree that it is a very slippery slope with dangerous classes. I was working on a degree in Education, but of course with that comes the liberal arts requirements, with problems like literature classes that read the problematic parts of hte christian bible (had to drop that one), art classes that involve images no ben or bas torah should ever see (never even signed up for that one) etc etc.

unfortunately however, we live in society where it is often seen as “you won’t get a good job if you don’t go to college”. As someone explained it to me while I was trying to avoid this step: it used to be that not everyone went to college, so people hired people without a college degree, but now that its normal to go to college, no one will hire you without a college degree.

this is a very sad state, and unfortunately, despite the number of frum college programs, many of them aren’t fully recognized in the secular world because they avoid these liberal arts requirements, and the ones that are recognized, unfortunately risk the loss of frum enviornment.

I wish there was a decent alternative, but who knows
