Ten pupils at a secondary school in Gossau turned up for their lessons wearing an edelweiss shirt on Friday. A teacher was very unhappy at the sight of this typically Swiss clothing; he asked them to go and put something else on. According to the "SonntagsZeitung", the teacher considered that this manner of dress conveyed "racist and xenophobic" ideas. The ten pupils decided to come to school wearing peasant shirts and to sing patriotic songs to show their "pride in being Swiss". Tensions with classmates of Balkan origin are said to be at the origin of this initiative, reports the German-speaking weekly.
The school's headmaster is trying to calm things down. Patrick Perenzin points out that peasant shirts do not violate any institutional dress code and that they are not forbidden. But he adds that, in his view, the ten pupils behaved badly. When worn by one pupil, this clothing is not insulting. But when ten pupils decide to wear it at the same time, they are trying to "send a message", says the headmaster.

No, not you, too, Switzerland.
The whole world has gone mad.
Good grief, the intelligencia of every western country are bent on committing cultural suicide.
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you,
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it’s a very, very
Mad world, mad world
-Tears For Fears
Sad the Swiss have become infected with a lethal case of liberal diversity.
Edelweiss Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white
Clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever
I just thought Switzerland was immune from all that nonsense. I was wrong.
EuroPussys will take it bent over on their prayer mats facing mecca. Not even knots on their foreheads will wake them from their slumber.
Just saw a TV ad and The Sound of Music will be playing in Houston soon. Since we have the largest muslim population of any state and it seems as if most of them live in Houston, wonder if they will be offended and not buy tickets.
Just getting so tired of this krap
“Edelweiss, edelweiss...”
“The hills are alive...with the sound of Uzis!”
Yes, patriotism. How awful.
Liberals send all kinds of messages that make normal people uncomfortable, and we don’t dare object.
OMG, you can’t even tell. Madness!
