There is nothing stopping you from learning these languages, there are probably apps that can do it for free.

Not to the degree that a university degree would. Old Irish (in particular) is only taught at an undergrad level at one university I'm aware of (NUI Maynooth). The fact is that once you move beyond high school and technical courses, some subjects are very obscure and only taught in universities.

Universities should only teach things that will lead to direct jobs/skills. Period.

Why? The idea that universities should be job training centers everyone should go to is a very new one. The original concept of a classical education was to train the mind rather than teach specific facts, so the learner could approach any situation in adult life and triumph. Hence the focus on subjects like language, philosophy and mathematics.

Having these non-essential things was the pathway that brought us to feminist dance theory bullshit tier courses, that parents pay for and do nothing but corrupt the minds of kids.

Firstly, no. Universities had non job specific courses far longer than they had job specific courses, and the result was not feminist dance theory. That kind of nonsense is a very recent development and correlates with jews, not academic independence.

I don't think there is anything wrong with any languages, especially the ones you want to learn (they are the languages of my ancestors and I would like to learn then too). Things like languages would be best taught in a school for languages.

And it might be useful to have other related disciplines cooperating together in those schools, like history, archeology and classics experts. Almost like a "flowing together." Maybe we could adopt the latin word for such a thing, like "university."

Feminist dance theory could also have their own schools if they wish, but would not get access to federal funding just because it is attached to a university, so they would actually have to work to provide something of value where people would want to go and pay money for it.

Now you've hit the real issue: Public funding of universities. Universities used to get by on grants, fees and endowments, introducing public money into the mix created a central point of failure which jews could and did exploit.
