“Kindergartens should prepare children for school so they could speak German, and so-called Muslim kindergartens differ along ethnic and linguistic lines. We don’t need them. Muslim kindergartens to be, we don’t need,” said Kurtz during a speech at the discussion club, which was organized by the newspaper.
