I suppose, following the logic of requiring facility in Modern Hebrew to
teach Classical Hebrew one would also need modern Greek to teach
Classical/Koine Greek. What then does one do about teaching Akkadian,
Ugaritic, etc.?
Honestly, unless you were teaching the class in Israel in modern Hebrew,
such a requirement and the thinking behind it is ludicrous.
