BERLIN >> Some 800 German judges, prosecutors and judicial officials are starting to teach newly arrived asylum seekers the basics of law in their host country. The legal primer classes for refugees in Bavaria include lessons about freedom of opinion, the separation of religion and state and the equality of men and women.
The drive to teach German legal values was planned before the New Year’s Eve assaults in Cologne, which deepened tensions about the arrival of more than a million migrants over the past year.
Bavaria’s Justice Minister Winfried Bausback says “many asylum seekers come from regions where justice doesn’t function or is being abused by dictatorships.” He says that’s why it’s important to give newcomers “an understanding of our basic values” early on.

Hawaii only teaches the refugees how to go on welfare.
The dominant sex prefer Sharia Law as benefits are stacked against the opposite sex. The Imams that follow the migration will not change their customs nor adapt to the host country’s cultural standard or laws! Conditions of entrance must insist on acceptance of the host country’s customs and laws. If this pledge/oath/vow cannot be given, then entry is verboten!
Should be a pretty simple class to teach: Don’t murder, rape or steal. Don’t verbally abuse anyone. Don’t physically assault anyone unless in self defense. And if anyone tells you “no” just take them at their word. Any questions? (Total elapsed time, about 30 minutes.)
