Well, to correct myself without imposing yet another edit and giving you a chance to answer: it's not that you didn't say being forced to wear a burqa was dehumanising. Rather, you just ridiculously asserted that this is universally the case when a burqa is worn. It's not, and it's not dehumanising to wear one of one's own volition. That's expression.

On a personal note, I have no problem whatsoever with decent dress codes being enforced in a school. It's the reason why it's being done in this case that is the problem.

Yeah, what's missing is the posts pointing to more credible sources pointing out that this is just a single principal (or an official of equivalent authority) of a school in rural Bavarian bumfuckistan suggesting that female students should refrain from dressing in more revealing clothes. There is no actual ban being put in place, not in rural bumfuckistan nor in Germany as a whole.

It's being blown out of proportion and outright lied about in order to kick up a populist shitstorm fueled by the boundless, aimless, witless rage of uninformed people who don't even bother to look up facts.

What trend? There is no correlation between clothing worn and rape. The idea that dressing in certain manner makes you more likely to be raped is a myth.

Banning people from wearing one type of clothing to avoid offending a particular group isn't tolerance. Its allowing one group's culture to be imposed on everyone else. It is the very opposite of tolerance.

That said, I'm skeptical this is even true, because its the kind of "Muslims are taking over" fear mongering the Right loves and infowars is worth jack shit as a source.
"Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes" When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy." - President Abraham Lincoln.

I went to a school with a school with a strict uniform code. I got fired from a major company because I could not meet the strict uniform standards of the company. I'm sure girls could adjust and wear a skirt which is slightly longer.
HOWEVER. Bloody hell! Why are the Germans giving into the demands of migrants. These people should be happy that somebody is allowing them to leave the war and not force the people who are living their everyday lives to adjust

There were schools that allowed mini skirts??

Mini skirts should always be banned in schools (together with any similarly-sized shorts for boys, and other kinds of extremely revealing attire). Frankly I don't care what official reason is given for banning them, as long as they are banned.

If this is indeed true, I find this idea preposterous, and only comes to show how much grasp Muslim immigrants have done to Europe. Unless Europe assimilates the current muslims in their borders, and curtails future Arab immigration, we will continue to see more freedoms taken away from Europeans for fear of muslims.

I agree that the reason why they did it was totally crazy. But, really had they banned them in favor of more school appropriate attire, I would not mind it.
