I believe that knowledge, skills and virtues can still be obtained without required courses. Obviously, I know that Baylor or other universities would never discontinue requiring general education courses, but the system should be altered for a student’s interests, not the university’s pocket.

Last weekend, I saw “The Batman.” There were many things I liked and a few things that I didn’t, but overall, I thought it was a very solid film. It was refreshing and unlike many superhero movies I have seen recently. It was a beautifully shot, thrilling, story-focused film that did justice to its source material. Best of all, it wasn’t a part of an already-established cinematic universe and wasn’t preoccupied with trying to set up future films.

I have zero doubt that there are more wheels in the world, and I believe that talking about how there are more wheels than doors is bringing more people together than if this debate had never come up.

There is art in words. Making someone so sad that they lie in bed for days, not wanting to do anything but go back to when their favorite character was happy, requires skill.

If the end goal of having students attend CAEs is to enrich them in the arts, then every student should have to attend CAEs.

Baylor’s Chapel Online format provides little room for spiritual growth and community among students.
