Three Muslim fathers in Linz demanded the elementary school teachers put on a veil. The fathers, two Bosnians and a Chechen, had a whole list of demands:
- all teachers must wear a veil
- the children should not be admonished publicly
- the children should not participate in singing (as it's prostitution) and swimming lessons
- the teachers have not earned the right to be addressed politely
The fathers said the teachers should be glad there are so many Muslim kids as otherwise the school would have to be shut down.
The school has a very high immigrant ration and about 3/4 of the kids do not speak German as mother tongue.
The teachers complained about the demands, which spurred reactions from school officials throughout Germany. Fritz Enzenhofer, the national school board president, asked for moderation from both sides, saying it should be clear such things are unacceptable.

"Sie verweigerten zudem den Lehrerinnen die "Sie"-Anrede, weil sie dies als Frauen nicht verdienten. "
the teachers CANNOT earn the honor to be addressed politely. Because they are women "weil sie dies ALS FRAUEN nicht verdienten."
