Well, so much for never saying women "deserve it for dressing that way."
A school in Bavaria has sent a letter home to parents warning them not to let their daughters wear revealing blouses or short skirts, because emergency accommodation for refugees has been set up next to the gym …The letter goes on to give students instructions on how to deal with the situation:
"The Syrian citizens are mainly Muslims and speak Arabic. The refugees are marked by their own culture. Because our school is directly next to where they are staying, modest clothing should be adhered to, in order to avoid discrepancies. Revealing tops or blouses, short shorts or miniskirts could lead to misunderstandings."
The letter has not been met favourably by some parents, but a local politician, who did not want to be named, told Die Welt the move was "absolutely necessary".
"When Muslim teenage boys go to open air swimming pools, they are overwhelmed when they see girls in bikinis," he said.
"These boys, who come from a culture where for women it is frowned upon to show naked skin, follow girls and bother them without realizing. Obviously this is concerning for us," he continued.

Imagine, if you could, what would happen if a church in the traditionally Catholic area of Bavaria told women to watch how they dress. The international media reaction would make it one of the biggest stories in the world. The area would be targeted for "Slutwalks," the people advocating modesty would be shamed, disgraced, and fired, and politicians would instantly roll over for far-Left activists that would never actually support them.
In this case, there has been almost no reaction. We can expect the far-Left is very much in support of the plan.
In fact, leftist organizations have amused themselves in recent weeks by holding demonstrations advocating bringing more refugees to Europe [European protesters say 'yes' to migrants, The Local, June 21, 2015]
And, as usual, the "far-Left" is on the side of the Establishment, as German politicians are specifically trying to crush any protests against bringing more refugees to Europe [German justice minister condemns protests against refugees, Associated Press, June 25, 2015] (Note the media bias in that last headline, as the protests are framed as being against "refugees" rather than being against the policies enabling mass immigration and endangering the lives of migrants.)
It’s striking how the "deeply held" social positions of leftists, from gay rights to feminism, are so easily abandoned when they conflict with the values of the Third World. And so it is hard to believe anyone actually believes in this stuff. It’s simply a way to move towards the real goal — eradicating traditional Western Civilization.
