I think it is worse the other way around though. Science majors generally have to take real history and English classes, often side by side with humanities students. Humanities majors generally are corralled into things like "Biology and You" and "Physics for Poets". It's unfortunate because it isn't surprising that these people then fall for the postmodern critique of science as nothing particularly special because they've only been exposed to dumbed-down versions of it.

We shouldn't be punished for choosing difficult courses, and actually learning the material, even if it is slightly behind the pace of the course itself. Unfortunately, doing so has implications for your entire future in the United States (unless you have the money to buy your way into college, of course).
