As I've said before, I really do believe that the liberal arts should be universalized as much as possible for the benefits of students, but that university is often a poor medium for teaching them until you get to advanced undergraduate and graduate school classes where the numbers of students are small enough to facilitate adequate reflection and discussion between the teacher and a student's peers.
The public school system is such a failure on every level - concerned more with the industrial churning of students out to graduation to fulfill funding metrics instead of actual education.
