      Editing … So forcing kids to go to school is ok but forcing them to visit a mosque just once is a breach of constitutional rights? Makes sense I guess.

      Editing … If the mandatory education laws apply equally whether it's a religious education visit to a Mosque or a mixed gender swim class that ultra-conservative Muslim parents have objected to then that seems fair to me.

      Editing … I very much doubt that a Muslim family would be fined im they didnt want their kid to visit a Jewish synagogue. I dont think either situation should be fined 300 euros. If they want to give that kid a zero an that assignment go for it but to fine them for is ridiculous. Also note the Mosque was on a watch list by the government because its part of a specific fundamentalist Islamic movement. I wouldnt want my child going there either. Europe must be more fucked than i thought if most Euros think this is okay. Im so relieved my brothers family doesn't live in Germany anymore.

      Editing … If the Mosque teaches extremism then it's a different story (any source on that other than a youtube channel I have no reason to trust?) and they should be taking the field trip to a different Mosque. Other than that I have no qualms with mandatory education attendance as long as it applies equally across the board. Like I was saying, we know the rules apply to ultra-conservative Muslim parents saying their daughters can't learn to swim: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/muslim-girls-swimming-lessons-germany-must-take-part-a7463676.html
