There is no chance I would let a university humanities department anywhere near my children at this point.
Examples?
> Charging obscene levels of tuition for it while piling the real work onto adjuncts.
This is endemic to the US university system, in general.
> Close-mindedness that would make John Calvin blush.
Again, it's all fun and games to riff and instantly disregard a vast number of fields of study, but you're not doing yourself any favors by just throwing out a laundry list. You have an immense distrust towards these departments: air your grievances, I'm sure a lot of us are interested.

Universities tend to admit adults. Also, if your children go into university, are you going to refuse to pay for their general courses? They're going to have to touch a literature or history course eventually. Are you going to forbid them from taking 3 credit hours of Spanish?
There are wonderful resources for getting a liberal education today. More than ever, in fact, and far less expensive than ever as well.
They just have nothing to do with going into a humanities department.
