> If someone wants to major in feminist dance therapy, that should be on their own dime. Using my tax money to fund it is immoral.
And if they want to major in economics, chemistry, physics, engineering?
I don't necessarily disagree with what you're saying wholesale, but "I don't like this tiny corner so throw the whole thing in the trash" is immature, foolish, and self-destructive.

Those at least serve a practical purpose to society as a whole, but even then I still would question taking other people's money by force to fund it.
What do you use to define “practical purpose”? There’s a saying that “science is necessary, but art is the reason why we live.”
If you dig deep enough, subjective experience is what we’re often trying to improve. Both science and art contribute to that.
