Monday is the first day of the new academic term for primary schools in the Netherlands.

“After such an event, we do not feel safe,” Gulsum Dogan, principal of Er Riseleh School said, adding that it was the first such incident in the school’s 24 years.

PEGIDA, a far-right anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant movement, shared images of the stunt on its social media accounts on Monday.
