Should non-STEM majors be required to learn algebra?

Yes.

Considering algebra is taught in elementary and middle school, I don't see how this has to do anything with STEM/non-STEM majors in college.

This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.
Yes, I intend on using Khan Academy to brush up on my algebra before I start studying Economics at Uni. If I need it for Economics, I think STEM students should have a decent command of it, too.

My stupidity is self evident.
Leave it up to me and every one would have to take all the maths.

I'm considering taking abstract algebra for funsies next fall.

Khan is a decent resource. You can also find online lectures for just about anything on youtube.

If it were up to me, algebra and mathematical thinking would be a requirement for every single year of higher education. The logic seriously, truly does help.
