More Americans Kids Studying Latin- Should We Be Thanking Conservative Protestants?

Yes perhaps we should!!

Get Religion has the facts on what is going on here at Homo doctus in se semper divitias habet

An interesting comment he posted

I think there may be two ghosts here: 1) People who want to learn Latin because of the Catholic Church’s use of that language, and 2) the “Classical” movement within conservative private Protestant primary and secondary schools.
I suspect number 2) in particular may be part of the reason behind the increases in numbers cited in the article, but Hu shows no indication that she is even aware of the movement.

Catholic Natural Family classes sponsored by Catholic Dioceses in many places have more Evangelicals than Catholics and now Protestants are also returning to Latin in a Classical education setting. Hopefully Catholics will take notice
