Reply to comment by LewisLightning in Lithuania should phase out Russian language teaching - president's adviser by Interrete

Sure, but its an unfair collective punishment against those Russian speakers in lithuania for the actions of a state for which they have NO CONTROL. Kids who might of gotten a minor or major in Russian later on in life are going to miss out on opportunities in their personal lives all due to the fact the languge they are interested in happens to be used by an ugly state actor

In other words, they are taking out the fear of a possible Russian invasion out on their own citizens by depriving them of the substantial econimical socetial and familial benefits a second language can do

Then everything is unfair. The fact that the same funds also don't go to creating more opportunities for kids to learn more directly useful languages such as English is also unfair.
