That was once one of the justifications for requiring Latin and Greek too. I have nothing against acquiring discipline, but prefer that it be acquired studying something more useful (not that individuals won’t wish to pursue other subjects — I chose to study Latin and acquire a smattering of Greek myself).
It is the point.
There are disciplines that are still relevant that could be taught instead using the same precious time.
