I think most of us graybeards here might agree that a focus on STEM, and programming particularly, is not in any way shape or form a better education. The treatment of the humanities as "lesser" has been catastrophic, in my opinion.

I didn't mean that "a better education is one which focuses on programming". We'd like to improve education across the board, but have chosen to focus our efforts on STEM topics at the moment.
Humanities are by no means lesser, they're just not what we're focused on, presently. (Also, a really good humanities education probably looks very different from a really good STEM education setup. Different challenges, different problems to solve, at least initially.)
