So much for lower higher education. I had Latin in a Christian elementary school.

Odd man out here I reckon. Why would anyone ever need either, unless you wanted to work in Greece or Latonia? Everyone knows the only thing that really matters about those schools are the ilumni.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

The Classics were written in Latin and Greek.

It would be nice to go to medical school and not learn biology, or physiology or biochemistry. Alas, that's what defines it.

They just contributed to making the world a few more IQ points dumber. Pretty soon a diploma from these esteemed institutions are going to be completely worthless. Sic Semper Dumbass.

I never felt lacking designing and building O&G stuff... Obstetrics and gynaecology? Lol...just kidding. Kinda. That's the most common acronym for O&G, you know? This stuff isn't about Latin and Greek. It's about ANYTHING a troglodyte can't, or won't, do..

The FIRST thing a patient should hear from their New & Improved Doctor is a short introduction delivering a sincere apology that acknowledges the inherent racism and White supremacy of the Hippocratic Oath and a pre-formulated doctor-patient plan to combat racism in health care. Yo, dawg, heal thyself.....'n sheeit.

In our history, study and mastery of the classics (and related languages) has been considered a fundamental in liberal education. Such use of the term "liberal" has nothing to do with ideological or political positioning - it applies to knowledge and experience which liberates the persons mind, and which supports expansive and synthetical acquisition of learning. Most of our Founders had been classically educated.

The Greeks and the Romans are where “recorded” history and literature basically start.
Yes, you’ve got the Bible, and the Egyptians have some hieroglyphs, but the Greeks and Romans were the the first early societies that were truly PROLIFIC in recording history and writing down literature. By studying them, you realize that there aren’t that many emotions/conflicts/etc, that haven’t been around for thousands of years.
You don’t get the “intricacies” of that, studying petroglyphs of Neanderthals, Native Americans, and Africans.
This is simply another way to “eliminate” much of the history that Western Civilization is built on.
