OREANDA-NEWS In Estonia, kindergarten students were banned from singing New Year's songs in Russian. Delfi writes about this.
The incident occurred in Tallinn's oldest pharmacy on the Town Hall Square, which is a tourist destination. Kindergartens aged from three to five years old with their parents, accompanied by teacher Svetlana, came there with a New Year's tour.
Svetlana said that the pharmacy knew in advance about the arrival of the children, as the tour was conducted by a Russian-speaking guide by agreement. During the master class, the children began to sing a New Year's song in Russian, which caused dissatisfaction among the pharmacy staff.
"It is good that we communicated in Estonian, and the children did not understand that, according to the pharmacist, they disturbed both pharmacy workers and customers with their singing. Most of all, the pharmacist was outraged that the children were singing in Russian," the teacher said.
Earlier, Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsakhkna responded to the criticism of the UN regarding the ban on education in minority languages. In his opinion, the decision of the Estonian Government is in the interests of all children.
