A Liberal Education
Uh, due respect: In that quote, Simpson wasn't using "liberal" to mean politically left, he was using it in the classical sense of a broad/general education. (ie, "liberal arts--college or university curriculum aimed at imparting general knowledge and developing general intellectual capacities, in contrast to a professional, vocational, or technical curriculum."
