I strongly agree with you. I know many people whose whole views on religion, politics, society were changed through their humanities courses at university. Personally I gained a deeper knowledge of history, a love of art, and a real interest in ethics just from my mandatory general education courses (I was a CS major).
Now imagine you remove that knowledge from the adults of your country. You remove that knowledge from heads of industry, community leaders, and voters. What kind of society are you left with? College needs to be expanded to all with an emphasis on the liberal arts, a high school education just isn’t good enough to produce a good society.
