German schools shift to halal-only menus

After a daycare center in Lower Saxony recently raised the hackles of parents by only serving sausages from halal-slaughtered animals, now a school in Gelsenkirchen, North Rhein-Westphalia, is also bowing to the demands of the Muslim population when it comes to food offerings. Starting next school year, Erle Comprehensive School will serve only halal meals. Other schools in Germany, including a special needs school in Baden-Württemberg, have also shifted to halal-only menus.
