A high school in the western city of Wuppertal has come under fire after a letter was circulated stating that teachers should take down names of Muslim students found praying at school. The letter was reportedly sent be school administration to teachers and later shared on Facebook, according to Der Westen on Wednesday. Teachers were further told to “report” any similar cases to the administration and to “ascertain” names of students. The Düsseldorf authority further explained that Muslim students were “praying provocatively” inside the school building. The statement compared the situation to school swimming lessons: female Muslim students must also participate, even when they say it violates their religion.
