Are you telling me that there are no schools that are no longer serving Pork because of Muslim children or that the fact that they exist is not a problem?

This for example is not a problem. Providing everyone at school, university and at work with meals that agree with their religion is utterly trivial. Have at least two different meal options. Always have a vegetarian option. Declare what kind of meat is in the non-vegetarian meal. Done! and there should be at least two meal options anyways, because there is always people with allergies and so on and if there are two meal options it is more likely that at least one will be ok.

Schools serving no pork is at most a temporary occurrence, because people are sometimes retarded.

Well the problem is that schools are putting it in ther request for proposals (Ausschreibung) that you are not allowed to server pork as the meat option, because of Muslim children. I think it's okay to have 2 options and to make one of them vegetarion/halaal/glutenfree whatever, but to say "well you can eat beef and chicken" and ban Pork is wrong.

The general procedure in any school cafeteria I've seen is to always offer at least two meal options, with at least one of them being vegetarian. The one in the school I've personally went to just made sure that this vegetarian choice also aligned with kosher and halal practices, so that most children could still have their culturally important Bratwurst (:laffo:) while jewish or muslim students could just take the vegetarian options on those days.

That is when everyone didn't just go to the kebab store around the corner anyway, because gently caress cafeteria food.

Did we seriously go from agreeing that some inflammatory flyer with things that either aren't happening or non-representative is dumb to, in detail, discussing one of the things that isn't happening and dissecting it on its feasibility because some dude launched into a tirade about it with an opening of "Actually, a lot of their points are, in fact, true" while yet to provide a citation?

Why do reactionaries always pick the worst battles? Why is the German culture that seemingly needs defence stuff like

* eating pigs in general
* eating pigs in a specific form
* eating pigs in another specific form

I do have my weak moments of Kulturpessimism, but then I worry about an end to centuries of humanism - of an end to a tradition of Freiheit und Brürderlichkeit (such as: giving people the freedom to not eat pork, giving refuges shelter), not to an end of loving Bratwurst.
Maybe I worry about people forgetting Brecht and Bach and what have you. Bratwurst? Really?

Edit: for example, opting out of sexual education ("Sexualkundeunterricht") for religious reasons is something I'm against.

Here's a nice article about the load of crap these idiots made up about a non-existing "Wintermarkt" in Kreuzberg.
http://taz.de/Mythos-Winterfeste-in-Berlin/!151427/

The best thing is that not only is it all bullshit, the thing that actually happened was that a ramadan(!) celebration had to change its name.

But it's probably not worth it to mention facts to people who think that those who dare to help other people are the ones responsible for racism. Or that they are literally repeating the arguments of those defending the pogroms of the early 90s.

Did you somehow not read the very article you posted that stated that such decisions are generally almost entirely up to the caterer supplying the food, rather than the school itself? Besides, it's pretty much their job to set up a meal plan that is appealing to all students on a limited budget. They generally don't serve liver or Sülze because most kids wouldn't eat that stuff, and curiously nobody raises a stink about that. If there's only room for a single meal per day and a significant part of their consumer base won't eat pork for whatever reason, then delivering pork anyways and telling those kids to eat poo poo instead is just plain failing at their job.

I think my pig is whistling. Has anyone considered that these Muslim children are Germans? Born and raised as Germans with just as much right to be here and have their religion respected as any other German? The Islamic faith IS German.

If the story is true, let the schools buy the food that's best for all the children. And anyway, cafeteria food is not some fundamental right, it's a necessary evil that everyone has to cope with through out their entire life. It breaks my loving heart every single day to see what kind of crap they managed to scrape from the gutter this time and how much they are going to charge for it. :byobear:

Possibly the worst thing about all the fringe right stuff is that it makes it harder to improve our immigrant problem in a reasonable manner - by painting it as Germans vs. Immigrants or whatever, instead of a complex multifactorial problem of German society. If I were an immigrant, I probably wouldn't feel especially incentivised towards integration when people tell me they don't want my kind around. Or more fundamentally, when people reinforce the impression that this is an us vs. them problem, that immigrants are different from Germans, that they are not Germans.

I wouldn't necessarily call that original, but yes, there is the danger that eventually, marginalising these voices is no longer going to work. I have no idea how we'd be able to deal with that, ever.
So far, Germany has done reasonably well with trying to suppress racism by enforcing political correctness - giving people who had such opinions the impression that it's NOT OKAY to talk like that in public. And so far, that's worked okay. But maybe it will eventually fail.
