On the 26th of July, "anti-christian" passages had to be removed from class books in bavaria. The worst think is that most of those passages weren,´t even anti-christian but anti-fundamentalism. For example the line:
....Atheist and newsman Susan Jacoby says there is an undeniable direct link between religious fundamentalism and a lack of education....
They appointed to article 131 (2) of Bavaria's constitution which says (and I am not kidding): the highest educational goal is reverence towards god and respect for religious faith.... Those points are actually higher then thinks like respect for human dignity and respect for the environment. And just in case someone thinks they forget to remove this line after the dark ages - they didn,´t - it was added in 1996.

I feel a little like in northkorea now, only that our dictator is imaginary.

Besides, when the constitution was conceived in 1946, the god thing was already in it (source). But yea, Bavaria is a little special. The 1946 constitution preamble reads:

Angesichts des Trà¼mmerfeldes, zu dem eine Staats- und Gesellschaftsordnung ohne Gott, ohne Gewissen und ohne Achtung vor der Wà¼rde des Menschen die Überlebenden des zweiten Weltkrieges gefà¼hrt hat,...
My terrible nonliteral translation said:
It was a godless national and social order, without a conscience and without regard for human dignity which left to the survivors of the second world war this field of debris,...

Yea in 1998 they added
(4) Die Mädchen und Buben sind außerdem in der Säuglingspflege, Kindererziehung und Hauswirtschaft besonders zu unterweisen.

My translation said:
(4) Furthermore, the girls and boys are to be instructed in baby care, parenting and home economics.

In 1998, they also took out some article that dealt with the administration of the death penalty. A little more than 50 years after the death penalty was abolished.
