The U.S.A. Branch of the International Committee for the Defense of the Breton Language sends its words of support to Yannig Baron for his courageous action to bring attention to the pressing need for the expansion of bilingual schooling in Brittany.
We strongly support the work of Bretons to develop the Diwan immersion schools as well as bilingual programs in both the public and Catholic schools. We are saddened that France, which boasts of its support for minority languages and cultures worldwide, has been so slow to act in support of the languages and cultures within its own borders.
The small level of real support the French government gives to Breton language schooling is shameful. It is even more shameful that Yannig Baron feels he has no other recourse but to risk his life with a hunger strike as France continues to block resources that would give the children of Brittany a real opportunity to learn the Breton language.
