Obama’s Language Mandate: Why It Feels Like Hungarian to Me
I studied latin for four years, starting, appropriately enough, at the the Boston Latin School. Latin is a wonderful language with a rich literature and lively history. The letters of Cicero are as lively and meaningful as though written yesterday. Those who have not experienced this are truly robbed.

Obama is a fool. Students today cannot even speak English. That should be primary. A second language is also important but not necessarily Spanish. Othello’s insistence on Spanish as a second language is merely an attempt to placate groups like La Raza and la Reconquista.
