Parents strike over Ethiopian kids in kindergarten

Parents at kindergarten in Kfar Yona near Netanya are on strike over the introduction of children of Ethiopian origin into the system, Ynet says.

The director of the Education Ministry, Michal Cohen, says that the protest is a minor one and will not affect the kindergarten.

“This is a few parents who discovered that six students are supposed to arrive, and they don’t like it, but the kindergarten opened nonetheless,” she says. “We are opposed to any statement of this kind. The children are Israeli children and we will not let anyone influence the composition of the kindergarten.”
