All these unpopular opinions are embarrassing because people tend to generalize their personal experience as an objective view of things.
"You can learn life lessons or symbolism or whatever from more interesting, relevant, and modern books. Including graphic novels"
Who reads the classic for life lessons? They're not self help books. Symbolism? As if that's the totality of it. "Whatever" is hilarious.

I'm always on team read what pleases you, I read comics as much as old books, but again, this is just nonsense from a very personal experience.

High school kids and working class people without a college education are as curious, perceptive, and intelligent as their counterparts and should have access and familiarity with the great works. They should also be encouraged to take on the challenge of understanding them.
Better to say, "I struggled with the classics", or "I didn't have a teacher who made the adventure fun", than to make a grand declaration against anyone being introduced to them before college.
