Well, I said “many (most?)” with respect to the general education requirements for a bachelor’s degree in the U.S. at public unversity. You know, x# of units in physical science, natural science, history, poli sci math, etc., in their lower division.
Maybe it’s just California that requires poli sci? The UC, CSU, and community colleges have this requirement, but then the California statewide jobs also have an affidavit requirement that all employees must sign upholding and defending the California Constitution from invaders.
Edit to add that even engineering students must take this course in California.
