Multicultural Political Correctness has infected a school in a town near Zurich. It seems any evidence that a student is proud of being Swiss is now verboten, and must be suppressed.

Many thanks to Nash Montana for translating this article from Junge Freiheit:

Swiss Teacher Bans Edelweiss Shirts GOSSAU. A Swiss teacher prohibited her students from wearing Edelweiss shirts, because she says they are racist. Around ten teenagers at the Gossau high school were wearing the shirts to show that they were “proud and patriotic Swiss”. The teacher ordered the students to immediately change their clothes. The Swiss People’s Party (SVP) was appalled over this ordinance; they called it “mega-temerity”. It is “questionable, that Swiss traditions are now labeled as racist and are even banned,” said party Member Lukas Reimann (SVP). He noticed that especially Albanian youths everywhere “show their eagle”. That right should go for everybody. Twitter Text: Claudio Schmid @claudio_schmid

We Swiss are abolishing ourselves and it looks as if schools and courts are helping.

Permitted: Hijab

Not permitted: @EdelweissShirt Many Swiss Canton councilmen were wearing their Edelweiss shirts out of protest at the last Parliament session. The students who wore the shirts were invited by the school for a discussion, and they were asked to justify their behavior. But later the school principal admitted the teacher had overreacted with the ban, and she has realized that herself. Apparently, the driving force behind all this is rising tensions between students from the Balkans and indigenous students at the school.
