“Liberal education” meant educating people for a life of liberty, which is to say for a life of never needing to work a single day, or to take orders from anyone else … unless one freely chose to do so.

This already got responded to, but it’s a widely vectored reading of history, so my bit: This is an incredibly inaccurate claim, and is based on a misreading of what socioeconomic elites of the 1700–1950 era supposed liberty and freedom to entail.
