Cute and harmless, but being phased out by more and more nurseries: checkroom symbols such as rabbits, mushrooms and dragons. New labels are planned.(Bild: Krone KREATIV/stock.adobe.com)

House, apple, rabbit or even mushroom - for generations, the little ones in kindergarten have enjoyed the checkroom symbols. They are now being banned. But why?

The censorship craze doesn't stop at the little ones. Even Mother's Day is no longer celebrated in many kindergartens. They say it is "no longer in keeping with the times". And now the next loving and harmless tradition is being sacrificed for the sake of false political correctness.
