The students at my kids’ public high school have to read a book recommended by a teacher over the summer and discuss it at a seminar when they return. The band director recommended Eusebius, and a number of students signed up for his seminar, including my son. So I just wanted folks to know that at least a few public school kids have done some classical reading and discussion.

Wow, that IS impressive. I assume they will be reading his Ecclesiastical History? That is an utterly fascinating work in my opinion.

Actually, he tells me that seminar was two years ago and he doesn’t remember the actual title. However, he did say it was interesting, and it was probably the most dense reading he did in high school. The following year, the seminar was “The Screwtape Letters”. There are some vocal conservatives at his school, although they are in the minority.
