I took two classes in college for purely blow-off purposes. I took Geology to fulfill a science requirement and I took Art History because I figured it would be an easy ‘A.’ As it turned out, I learned more in those two classes than I learned in any others I enrolled in throughout my entire four years, including in my major and minor. So, I am glad the president apologized for dissing art history majors. As he himself admits, he also learned a great deal from taking a art history class in high school.
Also, too, I never looked at the world quite the same way after learning about geology. And God didn’t strike me down for studying plate tectonics!
