Hey! Speak German, like other civilized people do!

So in an Austrian school an Albanian student gets into an argument with a Macedonian cleaner, and somehow a Turk is insulted.

What is a school mistress to do to better relations and keep the peace?

Everyone will speak German. Not “may” or “should.” Will.

“The notice was circulated on social media with many students expressing their outrage, with some comments saying it was ‘dictatorial’ and ‘completely the wrong approach’.

“The rule also applies to breaks between classes and even to telephone conversations students have with their parents - if they are within earshot of other students.”

Wah, wah, wah. We should be able to speak any language we want. And you may. When you are not on campus. You are in Austria. Speak German.
