A letter from the Zuckmayer School in Berlin-Neukölln caused indignation for parents. An event was planned to break fast, which non-Muslim students also had to participate.
The management invited all students of the 7th grade – not a Muslim – on March 28 from 5:30 pm. It is the last night before the end of Ramadan. In the letter there was an obligation to attend because the lessons for this fell elsewhere. Parents raged!
Father: “Christmas is not celebrated”
The food must be taken with you. Many parents responded to unbriders. “Christmas is not celebrated at school, nor Easter,” said those who were affected against “Bild”. In general there is no other Christian vacation. “But our children have to compete for Ramadan, where do we live?”, The father is quoted, who is not a religion.
In the meantime, the Senate van Berlin has made it clear that participation in religious events is voluntary and should not be at the expense of the lessons. The school was instructed to withdraw the invitation in this form. The Authority also emphasized that religious festivals are welcome, but never required for everyone. So far, school management has not yet commented on the incident.
