Apollo News revealed that the Theodor-Haubach School in Hamburg (Altona-Nord) He only included Muslim holidays and school events in his calendar.. It included the end of Ramadan on 30 March, the breaking of the fast on 31 March, and the festival from 4 to 9 June.

Christmas, Easter, Ascension Day in May and Pentecost in early June were removed until March. They have now been reinstated because the story made the media, social networks and AFD politicians have picked it up. When the school saw the scandal, it amended the calendar without saying anything.

It is not an isolated case.

This incident is not an isolated case. Recently, a school in Berlin organised an iftar (breaking of the fast during Ramadan) with a notice that suggested it was compulsory. This caused misunderstandings and outrage among some parents who publicly denounced the matter.

Finally, the German Senate intervened, as HuffPost explains, to remind that participation in religious events is not compulsory in public schools and that religious neutrality would be guaranteed. Finally, it was confirmed that the event was voluntary and the school apologised for the confusion.

Despite the apology, the message was clear:«Dear students, dear families, I would like to inform you that we are organising an iftar (breaking of the fast) at the school. This means that your child will be at school from 5.30 pm to 8 pm.«.
