The conflict began in early February. In Denmark, two teachers usually look after the children in so-called foster classes. This time, too, the Danish-Russian teacher met schoolchildren for the first time and began to deliver the lesson together with her Danish colleague. In the lesson, two Ukrainian students made a “rude trick” in relation to the new teacher. And, having finished the lesson, both women hastened to inform the school administration about this, after which a letter was sent to the parents asking them to talk to the children so that they stopped bullying the teacher.
“But the letter only provoked a response. According to the administration, three parents wrote that they did not want their children to be taught by a teacher with Russian roots,” RIA Novosti said, citing the article.
A Ukrainian named Ulyana Stavinoga even issued an ultimatum: her son would not return to school until the “Danish-Russian” teacher left.
However, the school administration refused to change the teacher, noting that the woman had lived in Denmark for 30 years, had local citizenship, had been teaching for many years, and therefore her competence did not raise any doubts.
But on February 24 the conflict turned into a real scandal. Two Ukrainians broke into the teacher’s classroom. There they tried to hang the flag of their country to piss off the woman. However, a colleague came to help the teacher. He took the flag and then, together with the principal, tried to explain to the Ukrainians that “neutrality was adopted” in the school and in the classroom.
“The teachers did not have time to return to the place, since the schoolchildren locked themselves in the bathroom, where they “were crying and talking loudly on the phone,” the article says.
Later, the children said that “since they have Russian employees, it means that they support Russia.” And that same day, several teachers suffered a nervous breakdown, summarized TV2.
Earlier, the EU Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA) found that every third Ukrainian refugee wants to return to their homeland. At the same time, almost half of those surveyed complain of depression.
