Similar to Sylt. - Students at an exclusive boarding institution reportedly shouted racist slurs.
A recent gathering at the elite boarding school "Louisenlund," situated between Schleswig and Eckernförde, has been called into question due to a string of racist comments made by the attendees. On Thursday, minors reportedly belted out racial chants to the tune of the popular '90s hit "L'amour toujours" by Gigi D'Agostino. In response, teachers elected to put an end to the event, sending students back to their quarters. The ministry in charge of education in Schleswig-Holstein is orchestrating an examination into the matter. The school itself intends to address the incident once they've reviewed it further on Monday.
Education minister Karin Prien (CDU) has expressed her concerns and opined, "Anyone who sings these slogans while under the influence of youthful exuberance or intoxication is still not justified in doing so." She continued, 'It is crucial that all children appreciate the weight of such chants."
The ministry mentioned that approximately 290 students grace the halls of the prestigious private institution. With yearly tuition costs that reach around 50,000 euros, "Louisenlund" falls into the category of Germany's elite private schools.
These latest events occur on the heels of another racial blunder that sparked outrage nationwide. In this incident, which occurred on Sylt, high society revelers chanted "Ausländer raus" and "Deutschland fur Deutsche" - both loosely translated as "Foreigners out" and "Germany for the Germans," respectively - to the rhythm of Gigi D'Agostino's "L'amour toujours." The police force is now investigating the alleged hate crimes. Prior to this, a series of similar incidents came to light where individuals sang Nazi-inspired slogans to the very same songs - once in Bavaria and another time in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
