In Vienna, a quondam capital of Western culture, 70% of all the students in the public schools are Muslim, and their percentage increases with each year that passes. This has caused all sorts of problems, with Muslims harassing girls who do not follow a strict dress code, to complaining about everything from non-halal meats served in the school cantines, to the absence of a Muslim prayer room, to certain subjects that they are unwilling to study. Then there is the terrific expense of additional classes in German language training and violent threats made by Muslim students to teachers, staff, and classmates. Teachers, unable to stand the strain, are leaving their Viennese posts in droves. More on this situation can be found here: “‘Girls wear headscarves out of fear,’ warns Austrian schoolmaster in new book,” Remix News,
A new book from a headmaster in Austria is shining a light on the threat of mass immigration and Islamization in the Viennese school system in terms of women’s rights and safety.
Christian Klar, the headmaster of a secondary school in Vienna, reports on the dramatic conditions in his new book, which was released last month, entitled, “What’s going on in our schools?”
“Islam is now everywhere in Viennese schools,” stated Klar, the principal of a high school in Vienna, who reported on the dramatic conditions prevailing in the schools of the Austrian capital in an interview with the oe24 news portal.
‘Some girls wear headscarves out of fear. Others wear full-body veils out of Islamic conviction,” he told oe24.
It is not just Muslim girls who are wearing headscarves out of either conviction or fear of harassment by Muslim males. Even non-Muslim girls have taken to wearing hijabs, though not as yet the full-body veils, in order to avoid being harassed.
When 70% of school-age children are not fully literate in German, because they do not speak it at home or with their friends, that puts a terrific burden on the schools to add German-language classes, requiring the hiring of new teachers, making adjustments in pupils’ schedules so that those language classes do not interfere with regular classes, and finding empty classrooms where such tuition in German can take place. Having more than two-thirds of the students “not fully literate in German” slows regular classes down, as some explanations will need to be repeated in simpler language for those non-native speakers. The education of the native Austrians — now dumbed-down — suffers as a consequence. Imagine teaching a course on German literature to a class where two-thirds of the students do not really know German. How can subtleties of literary language be taught to such students? They can’t.
Teachers are quitting Viennese schools en masse, unable to deal with the stress generated by this large Muslim presence. But it’s not just teachers who are leaving. Austrian parents are pulling their children out of state schools because they don’t want them being held back by their Muslim classmates whose German is far from perfect. And there is the constant threat of violence against both non-Muslim students and teaching staff.
…Klar noted that five young girls came to school veiled after being sexually harassed on a massive scale. On the advice of their parents, they wanted to protect themselves from further incidents of this kind.
It’s not clear what kind of harassment those young girls, now veiled, were subject to. We are not told if they are merely hijabed or are fully veiled in niqabs, nor are we told if they are Muslims or non-Muslims. Both would likely be at risk of violence if they do not conform to the Muslim dress code as set down by Muslim males. Principal Klar had banned headscarves and full-body veils in his school, but he cannot control what Muslim males do to girls who observe his ban. He wants to be backed up by the Austrian government, which he argues should pass a nationwide ban on headscarves and full body veils in al schools, and then to enforce that ban with the full force of the law throughout Austria. Those who harass schoolgirls for not wearing dress they consider Islamically appropriate should be arrested and charged with interfering with the ban on headscarves and full-veil dresses in schools, as mandated by Austrian law. After a number of well-publicized arrests, stiff fines, and even terms in jail, Muslim males will get the message: Islamic dress codes have no place in Austrian schools. And if they don’t like that law they are, of course, free to leave the country, taking their womenfolk with them. Indeed, nothing would please the Austrians more.
