Roger Vernon Scruton is an English philosopher and writer who

"
Basket Weaving" used to describe a safe haven course of study for
football players. I don't think a Basket Weaving
degree was ever granted, but there are today Gender studies, Peace
Studies, Cooperative
Management, African American Studies, Music Therapy, Social Work,
and Criminal Justice
degrees being granted. And, why are degrees in journalism, or
creative
writing for that matter, even taught? Can anybody show me
where
someone holding a PhD in Education has done something
useful with
it? Sneesh.
Watched the clip. Bought one of his books - "How to be a Conservative". Thanks.
