Yes, it’s called fucking school. When you teach people in school, each class has a certain topic. STEM is a general gathering of related topics to address shared themes and strengthen those themes. It’s not “general education” it’s a specific specialisation that has banded together synergistically. STEM doesn’t mean “Nothing else matters”, STEM means : “Here’s some resource that helps with logic based subjects”.
There’s also “humanities” but people aren’t there cramming fucking chemical equations into english classes. Humanities has other fundementals and abilities and themes that they share , like IDFK, essay writing, that helps those topics in a similar manner, and they band together to arrange classes or tools or fucking whatever to help that stuff out.
They don’t need STEM busting in there to math up the goddamn place.
Fucking school is the part that students naturally seek after class.
I’ve seen plenty of arts and humanities that could benefit from a bit of STEM just so they can “express themselves” more effectively in our technology laden world.

Again, you and the other art crammers are forgetting the central point : STEM is an umbrella term to bind similar fields.
The ideals of cross-discipline collaboration are not under threat just because the logic topics are having a special little get together.
