The designated social minister in Lower Saxony – Germany’s first woman Muslim state minister – has called for crucifixes to be removed from state schools, saying they have as little place there as headscarves.
“Christian symbols do not belong in state schools. School should be a neutral place,” said Aygül Özkan, who is a member of the conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and will be made Lower Saxony's social minister next week.
She also stressed her support for the ban on headscarves in such schools – as well as accepting that church schools would be an exception from a crucifix ban.

We still have them beat! We have a crypto-Marxist black Muslim de facto president!!
Forcing symbols of religion out of the public eye is not “neutral”.
The woman holds office as a member of Germany’s CDU party - the “Christian Democratic Union.” I repeat, “Christian.” Is she too stupid to see the irony?
How about we BAN islam... works everytime it is tried!

If the goal is to make school a neutral place, remove the muslims.
The irony of a member of the CHRISTIAN Democratic Union saying this is overwhelming.
