Scared Monkeys Discussion Forum

I am thrilled to report that the word is now out.  There is something wrong and rotten in Denmark and it is the overwhelming majority of people.  Their one hope is education.  Adopt a Danish child today!  For just 700 dollars a month a Danish child can recieve a proper education, elsewhere, but not here!  Support the new generation!  Get them out of the dastardly hole they are in!

So stick it up your arse Denmark.  Your politics suck and it’s got to the point where Enhedslisten are about the only viable option, and they are never gonna get voted in are they?So stick it up your arse Denmark.  Your politics suck and it’s got to the point where Enhedslisten are about the only viable option, and they are never gonna get voted in are they?

A school in Odense on the Danish island of Funen has prohibited students from speaking in their own languages during break time.

Pupils at Seden School have had the ban enforced after a recent series of incidents involving bilingual students who are alleged to have harassed and shouted at fellow students and teachers.

The ban was introduced by school management in conjunction with the teaching staff at the educational facility where some 30 percent of students are bilingual. Those pupils who choose to ignore the ban will find their parents called in for ‘consultations’ reports Politiken.

Bertel Haarder, the Danish Education Minister, said that students must respect teachers but declined to intervene. “I don’t think that this sanction is particularly serious or a violation. Bad language is not acceptable either in Danish or Arabic. The important thing it to stop it, and not what rules are in place,” said Haarder.Bertel Haarder, the Danish Education Minister, said that students must respect teachers but declined to intervene. “I don’t think that this sanction is particularly serious or a violation.

Journo to arrested peaceful protester: “Why have you been arrested?”

Peaceful Protester:  “They haven’t told us and we haven’t done anything so we don’t know and I don’t think they know either.  But I guess this is what Danish Democracy anno 2009 looks like.”

Peaceful Protester:  “I have no idea and I don’t think the police officer knew either.”

What is up with Europe? First Denmark is paying immigrants to leave the country, then Switzerland band minarets, and now this.

I think Nato should react and bomb Denmark because of violating freedom of speech. That’s how it works, right? Or the system is not the same for all countries?

Rather than stop children speaking their own language at break times, wouldn’t it be easier to combine two Danish policies and simply pay those children to leave the country?
