This was an interesting story coming out of Germany this weekend. Apparently a wee little town in the country – and it is small, according to everything I could find – wants to change the 53 year old name of its childcare center in the name of “diversity.”

Normally, that would be yet another eyeball-rolling, virtue-signaling yawn-inducer, if you even paid any attention to it at all.

But these are not normal times by any stretch and word of the proposed change has people’s hackles raised.

Tangerhütte is a smallish burg west of Berlin boasting a population a shade under eleven thousand people, per their 2021 census. It seems to be about evenly split between the sexes, and skews older, with the bulk of the numbers being 30 and up. That’s pretty much par for the course in Germany and part of their immigration woes – they’re not replacing themselves, so Merkel started importing worker bees. Her “Wir schaffen das” (“We can do this”) in 2015 was the catalyst for the roiling in Germany now.

...Does Germany need refugees to counteract the shortage of skilled workers? Or are refugees too much of a burden on the social security funds in Germany? The Germans were and are divided on this issue as well. While the far-right, anti-immigrant Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) refused to accept the idea of welcoming refugees, citing financial and other reasons, Germany’s other political parties were joined by trade associations in emphasizing their importance for the labor market.

Today it is evident that the majority of the people who come to Germany as asylum-seekers first need training in order to find a job here. Moreover, the level of previous education among new arrivals differs greatly depending on the country of origin.

A partial lack of training and a lack of German language skills were the primary reasons why many refugees in Germany were initially unable to gain a foothold in the labor market.

Since 1970, the daycare center in Tangerhütte has been named for Anne Frank – the 15 year old girl whose diary of hiding in an Amsterdam attic memorialized forever the horrors of the Nazi regime and the Holocaust it brought with it. The 15 year old Jewish girl who was discovered, arrested by the Gestapo, transported first to Auschwitz, and then to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, where she and her sister died just a few months after arriving.

What her name should immediately evoke, especially in Germany, especially for people who love their children, is one thing. At this very moment, where she stands in history as a symbol and chronicler of fascism, genocide, hate, and the power of the human spirit rising above it all is especially relevant, manifestly important…and heart breakingly poignant.

So it seems very disconcerting to find a German town deciding…well…that the name “Anne Frank” no longer has any meaning.

What makes it worse is not that the locals decided this for themselves, but that the locals – including the mayor – have inexplicably allowed “IMMIGRANTS” to determine this. They find “IT” – Anne Frank’s name/story – “difficult to explain to their children.”

Excuse me, whut?

…The idea of changing of name of Frank, who tragically died in a concentration camp at the age of 15, has come from migrant parents, according to the daycare center’s director. “It is reported that parents with migrant backgrounds feel uncertain about the name and find it challenging to explain to their children,” the report said.

Well…isn’t that just too bad or shouldn’t it be? Like, whose daycare center is this anyway?

Woke city leaders are all up on the diversity kick, regardless, bowing to their non-German, “migrant” population (400 with the only figures I could find from 2020 – God knows how many they have now). Folks who live there are not pleased in the least.

A kindergarten in Saxony-Anhalt is suddenly the center of a local scandal. The “Anne Frank” daycare center has been looking after children in the small town of Tangerhütte for generations. The daycare center named after the famous Jewish girl will soon be called “World Explorer”. Many local people are upset about the renaming – especially against the background of the currently flaring hatred of Jews in Germany.

This is why German officials are getting their clocks cleaned in regional elections, and I think the mayor of Tangerhütte might want to watch his career arc. Could well be on the downside after siding with “migrants” for “diversity’s” sake.

…City officials seem unmoved by this criticism: the name change goes hand in hand with a new concept that also wants to focus on the “diversity” of the children, says Andreas Brohm, the city’s mayor. And the name “Anne Frank” no longer fits the new diversity. The wish of many parents to rename the daycare center has “more weight compared to the global political situation,” said non-party Andreas Brohm to the Harzer Volksstimme .

The “wish of many parents” obviously means “migrant” parents which plays into another headline from this weekend. Germans have had quite enough of migrants, PERIOD.

Majority Support For Muslim Migration Ban As 3 In 4 Germans Say Newcomers Hate Western Society

Nearly two-thirds of all German citizens want the country’s federal government to impose a ban on migration from predominantly Muslim nations, a damning survey has revealed.

Polling conducted by INSA on behalf of the Bild tabloid newspaper showed that 61 percent of respondents now advocate refusing any more migrants from Islamic countries with many explaining they no longer feel safe in their own country and believe an increasing number of new arrivals despise German society.

Well, let’s see. Explaining Anne Frank is just too hard for migrant parents – you know, killing little Jewish girls when a good deal of their culture is all about killing Jews…so, yeah. I guess that would be a problem.

YOU MUST RESPECT MUH CULTURE

Of course, hateful Germans are exaggerating. Here are some nice, clean-cut migrant-type young men explaining how good Germany has been to them, how grateful they are to be in the country, and how they’ll work to contribut…just kidding.

No. Don’t allow it, Tangerhütte.

It’s critical for the far-left to make sure nobody ever sees a Jew as a victim. This is why Anne Frank is coming down as well as posters of Jewish baby hostages. pic.twitter.com/f1s0keTkMH

Not like we have any room to talk and we have less room as every day goes by.
