Denmark’s low-income immigrant children are being labeled “ghetto” and forced to learn about “Danish values.”
The plan to eradicate “ghettos” will largely affect heavily Muslim-populated neighborhoods.

In Denmark, children over the age of 1 who live in low-income, heavily Muslim immigrant communities that the government classifies as “ghettos” will soon be subject to mandatory training in “Danish values.”
Once children turn 1, they will be required to attend daycare centers for at least 25 hours a week, where they will be taught about the Danish culture and language, including Christian holidays such as Christmas and Easter. If parents refuse to send their children, they could lose their welfare benefits.
