MODERATORS
Please start with banning crosses as wall decoration in bavarian public authorities
That's how I know this law will absolutely be used to target specific religions unless the fundamentalist Christians take it too far.
Would be too funny to see Markus Söder's face if this would actually happen. "DeClInE oF tHe OcCiDeNt" or something like that.
I mean he did argue that they aren't a religious symbol before. He later contradicted himself and said that they are but I would not be surprised if he made that stupid argument again.
Hm, what Article would that be?
Unfortunately the separation of state and church is not very thorough in Germany.
And then there is Article 4
Article 4 does indeed ban it.

Bavaria is indeed violating the constitution here. There's merely not much done to enforce it here.
Wonder how they'll cope here in rural Austria.
Banning american propaganda from european society?
