I think history is one of the most important things we teach our kids, just as important as math, science, etc. if not moreso. Plus there have been many examples of how woefully inadequate we have become at geography. AND I love history. However I would like a more thorough definition of "disintegrated Humanities" before I condemn it out of hand. When I was in (U.S.) elementary school in the sixties they combined istory and geography and, for lack of a better term, called it Social Studies. We were still learning history and geography without a doubt. It was even a somewhat logical melding since the two subjects often compliment each other. This was also the beginning of the first clumsy attempts to make these subjects less Eurocentric and male-dominated. That trend may sometimes swing too far in the other direction but was generally an improvement to our understanding of humanity.
