We already reported on this letter to parents yesterday; the letter, which has been obscured in certain parts, is causing tension.
It appears to be a letter written by a headmistress of a primary school, according to her own statements. The content is about children being required to visit a mosque, not bringing pork with them on a visit day and, if possible, buying a copy of the Koran.
To repeat, here is the relevant letter:
"Dear Parents,
As your child has already told you, four imans will be visiting our school next week to introduce your child to the Koran and Islam. Please do not give your child pork for breakfast on this day. We are very honored by the Imane's visit and we will be organizing a themed week the following week in the spirit of the Koran. The visit to the mosque is planned for mid-February. This is a compulsory event for the children and they cannot be excused on this day.
You can now purchase the Koran in our school for €25.00. A purchase is recommended for the theme week.
I am very pleased that we as a school can introduce your child and you to the religion of Islam as this is an important topic here in Germany.”
Verification problem solved
Important parts of the letter are blacked out to make verification almost impossible.
Why these places were made unrecognizable is a question that invites speculation. Fact checking was probably intentionally made difficult so that the fake would persist longer. The obscurity therefore serves as a concealment.
But now it has been clarified, the Saxon State Ministry for Culture has spoken out on Twitter and confirmed that this letter is a pure invention. You read there:

Preliminary conclusion
Malicious and misleading counterfeit! There were several pieces of evidence that pointed to this. However, the statement from the Ministry of Culture definitively proves the alleged parents' letter to be a fake.
