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

If they don't like short skirts, let 'em go back to Syria.

If they don't like short skirts, let 'em go back to Syria.

They like them just fine. If you read the German articles it's rather about the girls being stared at. The english translation leaves a lot of the finer points of the story out of it's narrative.

Couldn't this letter to the parents be viewed as an insult to the refugees?

Yes, absolutely. My proposal to simply give them a quick friendly crash course with some guidelines concerning culture and behaviour would actually be more equivalent to taking them seriously as human beings. I must say though that I know nothing about this case, and they may very well have been doing that.

And again, that is a great idea.  My guess is (and I freely admit it is just a guess) that you are not the only German who has thought of this, and very likely they have done that, just as you suggest may have happened.  It is always a good idea to give a bit of an orientation to a group of people from another country, as things are different in different countries and it helps avoid problems to know something about the differences.

Frankly, I would be surprised if there were no orientation given.

There's a huge difference between English people and islamic #$%^#$ - ever since they were born they were brainwashed it's ok to kill and/or rape people who don't believe in their prophet.

No, most of them don't condone or support the extremists.

English people may have been brainwashed with Christianity but I doubt they were brainwashed when they were kids that it's ok to kill and/or rape other people.

I suggest you read around the forums here, you'll find these nice Christians defending slavery and rape.

Take all that and add more than 500 years of slavery with recent attempts to be enslaved again (economically and by education, instead with guns) and you'll get a tortured people which hates all the islamic #$%^& . I'm one of those persons.

Bigotry sucks.

Not all, but better safe, than sorry when it pertains to children or the innocent.

Instead, how 'bout we teach the misogynistic little bastards that women aren't chattel and rape is bad?

Lust most certainly is in the ten commandments.

Only in the context of your neighbor's wife. They say nothing about lusting after your neighbors daughter or the hot lesbian couple that just moved in down the street.

"So, those pigs come to my country and start dictating my way of life? No fucking way! If they don't like it, they're free to go back to their primitive country!"

This is what I would send back to the school as a reply if I were a parent.

It's time for some concentration camps.  People give up their freedom when they let dummies rule them.

All the things you listed are negative, wrong, bad, and counterproductive to humanity in unity with nature.
And rape is still lust.

You really should stop digging now or you'll never get out of that hole.
