The agency turned down the request, arguing that the poster could hurt "the feelings of non-Christian pupils." The education authority was acting preventively and with what amounted to exaggerated concern for a cultural minority that had yet to be integrated into permissive German society. No Muslim pupils had complained about hurt feelings, nor had their parents expressed concerns about immoral harassment.
Pre-emptive capitulation. How very French. The Krauts, of all people, to imitate the French? Even Spenglder must be turning in his grave.

Spengler, being prescient, went to his grave on a roller just to make efficient all that turning lying ahead
