Women have been held responsible for male choices/sexual behaviors since the beginning of time. Most organized religions expect women to dress modestly to avoid tempting men.
Today, in the US, there is no shortage of men who persist in ideology that a woman who dresses
"suggestively" is asking for it.
It's one school. The government didn't issue the order. One school did. What are the politics of the school's principal? Could he be very nationalistic? Could he be opposed to accepting refugees? Could he be trying to spread fear and anger?
Could he be trying to make two cultures meet with a minimum of friction without considering that every word would be put under a microscope by those who are overeager to be enraged?

He could.
And he could be taking actions based on his personal stereotypes and biases.
None of the articles provide any substance with regards to why this one person felt the need to request his female students to dress more modestly. We don't know anything about this headmaster. What we do know is that it was ONE headmaster at ONE school in all of Germany who decided to write his students' parents and recommend certain actions. Maybe he was simply being cautious. Maybe he is biased. Maybe he wanted to provoke people. We don't know, because the news links don't provide that information.

Which makes me wonder why so many Western women are so eager to embrace a more fanatical version of this. Evangelical Christians aren't challenging enough?
Memo to Muslims: drop your attitude towards how other people dress IF you people are living in other countries. Their culture, their rules. Deal with it.
Or could he be trying to protect the children under his care from animals?
I have a big problem referring to Islamists as animals; that's a slap in the face of decent pigs everywhere. Even many Muslims think the Islamist kind are nothing but low down trash.
Some would say the principal had an obligation to inform the children's parents that the school gym was housing 200 primarily young adult male refugees.

Some would say that the children's parents, and the entire community, were already aware of 200 refugees being housed in the school gym.
