Germany - School bans miniskirts because "religion" and "culture"

RE: Germany - School bans miniskirts because "religion" and "culture"
(July 1, 2015 at 10:13 am)abaris Wrote: The "Die Welt" link is more interesting, since the local article leaves out quite a few aspects of the original story. Such as the citizens of Pocking (the town in question) being mainly in support of the refugees and only some right-wingers trying to cash in on negative sentiments. Also it's not a ban but a simple letter of advice to the parents.

Also the article of the Passauer Neue Presse titles: "Rechte nutzen Elternbrief von Pockinger Schule für Ausländerhetze", which can be translated to "Rightwingers exploit parent advisory letter to incite xenophobia". Again, different story with a different twist.

I agree with you that the far right-wing uses excuse to incite hatred - They do that all the time whether it's against Muslims or against any other minority, and they do it because of terrorist attacks or simple letters of advice.

I know this isn't a legal ban but it's the only word I could think of - It isn't just an advice as the school representatives seem to almost be commanding parents what to do. Regardless, that doesn't erase that such a letter was sent. I'm not going to stop reporting terrorist attacks or incidents like this because the right-wing will use it as an excuse, I couldn't give less fucks about them. I'm not picking on Muslims, I'm specifically saying there's certain freedoms societies shouldn't compromise and I find this advise humiliating. I could understand an advice saying "don't go to church wearing a miniskirt" - When I was in Rome, I was advised by the Vatican police to not wear sleeveless shirts myself (I'm a man) - But this seems like your ordinary school.

Additionally, I find this advise insulting because there isn't any reported incident of refugees being concerned about this, so isn't assuming they will be a form of prejudice itself?

Also sorry for the lack of sources but generally local incidents like this, specially in Europe, are hard to find in English
