I am left-wing in the sense that your wealth (or really your parents wealth) shouldn't determine, or have a negative influence on, your chances of entering full-time education and that the state should primarily cover the cost. I do though think it is fair for the student to contribute an amount...
I'm not sure what you mean. Are you saying it’s anti-intellectual to consider both the arts and the sciences with equal importance, or that it’s anti-intellectual to consider one more important than the other? Presumably the latter?!
I don’t think it’s socially unjust to charge. I went to university when the fees were approximately £1,000 per year, which I think is a fair amount to contribute.
I also disagree with those differentiating between the science and art subjects, they are both just as important IMO.
