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

[abaris]

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.

Funnily enough the article links to two german links. And both don't use the word religion in their reports. They speak about cultures, the same word the german headmaster, who's quoted in the Passauer article uses. He also say, he only wanted to point out the differences between the cultures so that the students and parents are better able to understand what is happening. There's emphasis on the fact that the parents aren't the least bit concerned about receiving the letter, but rightwing media made a big deal out of it. The headmaster also states that he isn't the fashion police, but wanted to stress that both sides should be open minded about their different cultures.

If you knew what those syrians do to people here, you would probably call them something even worse.

So, examples - with links, please.

How well contained are the refugees? Is there a rape risk for the children?

If so, why aren't the refugees in a more secure location?

OK, but they're in Bulgarian and also the domain is .bg which I'm not sure whether it's accessible from another country. If you can't open these pages let me know and I'll paste the news here:

These are just 3 of the infinite number of cases of islamic $#%^# attacking innocent people ever since those refugees set foot on our territory. The media keeps diverting our attention from them by calling them "Algerians" or even "Egyptians" but there's not a single person from my city who doesn't know where all those come from - from the hostels where the Syrian refugees have been accomodated by our government.

I'm English, some English people are murderers and/or rapists. I hope all English people (including me) wont be called names because of them. Immigration is an emotive topic and generalizations are inevitable

It's not that it's wrong for females to show skin. It is bad because it leads to temptation which could lead to a very fucked up crime. I say they did the right thing.

Perhaps those temptable by the temptation to commit very fucked up crimes in a host country that offers them quarter during their hour of need should really go back to their native country so they can experience of joys of being really fucked up by the very fucked up crimes committed by their own people.

Read the German articles and if you can't read them, take my word for what they're saying.

...

I would expect the same skepticism when it is about an internet news source.

Why? You might be lying to us.

"These boys, who come from a culture where for women it is frowned upon to show naked skin, follow girls and bother them without realizing.

Then send them back where they fucking came from.
