    A new report by Human Rights Watch argues that the compulsory use of the Tuscan dialect as the primary language in schools in Italy raises “serious concerns under international human rights law”. At the time of adoption, only 2.5% of the population spoke Italian. This ongoing cultural genocide of 2 centuries has led to some not knowing their own regional dialect, and in some extreme cases, to people from different Italian regions understanding each other!!1

    Yes, this news is so silly, that applying the same logic in Europe makes it read like an Onion article.
