Dude, I learned Beowulf and Chaucer in high school [and, frankly, was completely turned off of the former by just how into describing the gore my teacher got. Seriously, it's like the gore was turning her on in front of the class.]

Also, what's so evil about letting people read a translation of something that they probably won't understand too well otherwise? And that's before you even have to consider the fact that there are a ton of cultural references that people won't understand because they aren't references in modern culture.

Also, to put this in, perhaps, some perspective for you - there are places that treat middle and old English as a separate language because that's how different they are. Middle English can be understood to some extent, sure, albeit not easily but old English is out of the question.
