What is the point of doing an English / Literature major? Why study literature at university? What should be gained from it? Should there even be a literature major at university?
What does the ideal undergrad Lit curriculum look like? Should we study the greeks (and romans)? (personally I think yes.) Should we read according to periods, movements, authors, or some other arbitrary restriction (like literature of the American West or incarceration literature)? What is required reading for a student who takes ~12 courses of in-depth study?
you study literature because you're a pseud who is obsessed with seeming intelligent and insightful because you're a lit major but the programs aren't at all just reading classics but actually force you to engage with literature in a way you never thought you had to -- as a global phenomenon -- so you post about how the leftists have killed literature study and then you drop out

you're being ironic but I can't tell if it's a good thing to read only classics in lit class. as you said, it's true that classes teach you new ways to look at literature, even if some of those interpretive lenses are misled or irrelevant.
