The Society of Pius X identifies the measures of Education Minister Klaus Kessler (Grüne) as "politically ideological" and will challenge them legally.

Saarbrücken (kath.net) The Education Ministry of Saarland has concluded that with the end of the current half of the school year, two Saarland schools, which are operated by the Society of Pius X, must conclude their operation. It falls upon the grade school in St. Arnual in Fechingen, according to SR-Online. The back ground for this is, according to Education Minister Kessler (Grüne), the long conflct related to the dormitory of the Heart of Jesus Realschule, which the Dom Bosco School Society must close in 2010.

Hmmm, has it worked for Germany to go down this road before?

I did like this quote: “As predicted, the school will probably be closed by Green party radicals who have no business running a hat shop, much less a school system.”

Seriously, this sounds for all the world like a grudge being exercised via political power. My understanding of the SSPX circumstances in Germany is limited to what I read, where it sounds like some periodically heavy conflict between the very conservative SSPX and the current very liberal political climate there. Germany is one of the places where one doesn’t wish to see this kind of government movement.

Eighty years ago the Germans had the Brownshirts.
Now they have the Greenshirts.
It sounds like not much else has really changed.
I wonder if the midnight bonfires have started yet?
