English literature is a relevant subject of study for all post-secondary students; therefore, it should remain compulsory.

Relevant is one of those pretty fucking vague words that's really handy to use, isn't it?

If a physics student has any fucking interest in english literature, he can read a goddamn book. If you make english classes compulsory, you're shoving a bunch of people who frankly don't give a shit in there and they won't get shit out of it except 3 hours of credit.

That's the same reasoning people use to say grade school should just teach basic living skills and trades.

College isn't grade school. The students are adults and should be trusted to learn what they want to learn, not what english majors want them to learn.

No, they can't be trusted. They should be made to learn as much as possible at every opportunity. They won't do it on their own.

Is college part of necessary education? As in, do we need some people to go to college to keep the economy going?

You should just state your argument instead of asking loaded questions.
