Centre-right parties in Germany want to introduce “rule of law” classes for refugee children in which it would be stressed that state ‘values’ including gender equality take priority over cultural diversity.
A draft document prepared by Angela Merkel’s ruling Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and their Bavarian sister party CSU ahead of the parliamentary group’s conference Monday would see young migrants taking lessons in ‘values’ at schools across Germany.
According to the Rheinische Post, the proposals would see the children of newcomers from the third world taught that press freedom, the protection of human dignity, and equality between men and women “stand as indispensable values above divergent cultural or religious views”.
The initiative, which was first floated last month by the CSU Bavarian premier Markus Söder, “would allow refugees to learn about our values and the rule of law, and, at the same time, teach them the limits and duties of our legal system,” states the Union document, which asserts that: “The integration of those who can stay in Germany is a priority issue, not least in order to preserve peace in our society”.
