Actor and proud conservative Kevin Sorbo is best known for his roles in Hercules and Andromeda, but recently his controversial tweets have taken over the spotlight.
In the last few years, Sorbo has been called out online for his attacks against trans people including exploiting gun violence to make his dubious point, his pandemic hot takes, his anti-mask public outbursts, his slams against California and his historical inaccuracies.
So Sorbo is no stranger to adverse reactions from his posts. However, his tweet on Labor Day stirred up quite the discord amongst fellow platform users.
Sorbo tweeted:
"40% of all plastic is only used once."
"It's kind of like a Liberal Arts degree."
\u201c40% of all plastic is only used once. It's kind of like a Liberal Arts degree.\u201d— Kevin Sorbo (@Kevin Sorbo) 1662414134
The backlash was swift.
\u201c@ksorbs That\u2019s funny, Kev. I majored in Chinese history at a proudly liberal arts-only college. \nAm now General Counsel of a company, having been Partner at a global law firm. The degree taught me writing, research and critical thinking.\u201d— Kevin Sorbo (@Kevin Sorbo) 1662414134
\u201c@ksorbs I went to a liberal arts university\u2026been steadily employed with the same employer for almost 19 years. How\u2019s your employment going?\u201d— Kevin Sorbo (@Kevin Sorbo) 1662414134
\u201c@ksorbs Kevin does not realize that biology, mathematics, chemistry, environmental science, and physics all fall under the umbrella of Liberal Arts.\n\nBut who needs any of that stuff, AMIRIGHT @ksorbs?\u201d— Kevin Sorbo (@Kevin Sorbo) 1662414134
\u201c@ksorbs Plastic has a long life cycle.....it can be recycled and upcycled. The same can't be said of your career.\u201d— Kevin Sorbo (@Kevin Sorbo) 1662414134
\u201c@ksorbs I have a liberal arts degree! I leveraged the communication acumen, critical thinking skills, intellectual discipline, research skills, & project teamwork I learned into a successful well-paying job in finance for the last 40+ years. Sorry about your intellectual inadequacies.\u201d— Kevin Sorbo (@Kevin Sorbo) 1662414134
\u201c@MuellerSheWrote @ksorbs You know what's a liberal arts degree? \n\nActing, screen or stage directing, music theory and composition, set design, production design, film editing, writing....\u201d— Kevin Sorbo (@Kevin Sorbo) 1662414134
\u201c@ksorbs Liberal arts includes humanities, arts and sciences. Acting is an art. At least the way talented people do it. Are you saying we don\u2019t need these, or to you not know what liberal arts are?\u201d— Kevin Sorbo (@Kevin Sorbo) 1662414134
\u201c@ksorbs Training and Development Specialist, Management Consulting, Director of Public Relations- all jobs making over 50k that you can be hired for with a Lib Arts degree. Plus, they contribute more value to society than an actor that rarely works \ud83e\udd37\u200d\u2640\ufe0f\u201d— Kevin Sorbo (@Kevin Sorbo) 1662414134
\u201c@ksorbs I know lots of people who got a liberal arts degree and went to law school and received master's and doctoral degrees.\u201d— Kevin Sorbo (@Kevin Sorbo) 1662414134
\u201c@ksorbs Kind of like your career.\u201d— Kevin Sorbo (@Kevin Sorbo) 1662414134
\u201c@ksorbs I have a liberal arts degree and an amazing career. \n\nMore than I can say for you.\u201d— Kevin Sorbo (@Kevin Sorbo) 1662414134

Despite his negative comments about higher education, Sorbo attended Minnesota State University Moorhead and double majored in marketing and advertising.
Although it seems like he isn't using his education either.
