Honestly, all I know about the humanities is what I had to learn in high school. I've spent my life studying the sciences which I think is much more useful than the humanities. The humanities are just people's ideas that cannot be tested like the claims of science can be. I wouldn't say I'm proud to not be as educated in the humanities as some people. I simply don't care. But I am proud to be well-educated in the sciences.

Then, since we agree that humanities are less useful than the sciences, and since they are "just people's ideas," we should absolutely minimize the amount of humanities-related reading children are forced into at school. Let's pick a small set of books that illustrate a healthy relationship with life's realities and leave recreational reading to those that want to use their spare time on it.
