        I'm 100% for Black boys learning Latin. This is phenomenal. Doctors, lawyers, judges, and secret societies leaders!

        It's not dead. We can listen to radio news here weekly. The programme is called Nuntii Latini. "De comitiis Britanniae" for Brexit.

        Why is skin colour considered as so important in 2017 yet? Just because of that, one's not a worse person!

        Now, why is it illegal to have an all white school if every other race gets to have their own school? Aren't we all Americans?

        there are already a lot of all white schools and when we try to put black kids there they get bullied bc of their skin color.

        Very glad to see these kids are learning one of the great classical languages. School kids of all backgrounds and ethinicites would benefit.

        More students should learn it. It is one of the bases of the English language and the language of science. Smart people can speak it.
