Pro lingua Latina in Jyväskylä

1. The Classics should remain in Western education.
2. My uncle was an elementary school teacher in Finland.
3. My son has done his Erasmus studies in Finland (Tampere).
4. So I have a positive feeling about Finland, being part of the Western culture. :-)

I feel very scared to learn, that FInnland, where the study of Latin enjoyed previously so much importance, being exemplary for the other Europena countis has the intenttion now out of , I suppose of finacial reasons, to cut it! Elimination of Latin means to open the door both for ignorance and anti-rationalism , even for cutural isolatoin

The study of Latin is an indespensible tool for historical, philological and philosophical research. By cutting it off, we cut off a significant part of our own cultural, historical and intellectual heritage.

Latin is a unique language and it has to be saved, containend and studied. Everbody has to have all the options, even if one options is rarely chosen
