Yeah this, I mean knowing Shakespeare, Calculus, Physics, and Organic Chem is cool and all, but most kids don't give a crap and don't care to learn it. Just learning a skill and starting small businesses is how this country was built.
I think people should learn most of that stuff in high-school. If they really want to pursue the arts and culture they can, but most people don't need to.
I definitely think people should study the classics on their own, and there are plenty of resources to do so. A good teacher of classics will actually help you learn about the context of the author and the work, helping to make more sense of what you are reading, not filtering it through a shit feminist or racial lense. I had a teacher do this with me for Shakespeare, it helped clarify what he was trying to say through his plays.

Hillsdale.edu has free online lessons in the classics, the Constitution, American history, world history, and many others. Highly recommend.
Youtube videos plus reading the book = no need for libtard professors
