    Ah but only truly smart people know technology and science while
any moron can learn history and art and literature. Besides, science
and technology are more economically useful than art unless its
commercial art that sells. Besides, with a minor exception for
evolution
you never heard a parent complain about their kids learning science,
there
are no anti-algebra people, but parents do complain if their kids read
Lolita
or learn history from a perspective they do not like.
