The concept is nice - students certainly need more exposure to Western literature, history, and philosophy. Perhaps seeing these Tweets will inspire them to look up the books or topics and read on their own since schools don't teach much of this anymore.
But the idea of learning something from Tweets - no way. It's funny to read the comment that they can read the entire Western canon in Tweets (it wouldn't even make sense) and that "they'll be getting a quality liberal arts education." That's hard enough to find at an actual university, let alone on Twitter.
Now it would be nice to see a reputable, affordable online liberal arts school. Maybe something like Codacademy where employers might take the coursework completely seriously.
