In school, rarely do we learn how data become facts, how facts become knowledge, and how knowledge becomes wisdom.
This is like an English professor saying, "rarely do we think about why stars shine." It implies there aren't disciplines devoted to this!

I think he was mostly saying that we are not taught enough from/about these disciplines, and was not implying they don't exist.

Everyone takes English and history classes, I don't think the problem is that people don't know about the humanities
-
Re-read his original statement: it implies that most people's humanities course experience doesn't adequately cover these particular issues.

Sure, that's one reading. I don't agree with it though
-
I agree that upper-level humanities do offer exactly this, & quite well: it's just that most people (B.A. or not) don't get access to it.
