By now, Tom Cruise thinks we’ve forgotten that he’s the same Scientologist who dressed up like a Nazi with perfect with teeth for the role of Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg in Valkyrie. In doing so, Cruise caused a right ruckus in Germany, which seems to contradict the convenient praise heaped upon him during the Bambi awards. Nice acceptance speech, btw.

Oh, but all is not well, for authorities in Munich, Germany abruptly shut down a kindergarten “with immediate effect” after word got out that the school was run by the Church of Scientology:

“The wellbeing of the children in the establishment was under threat because the education process was based on the principles of Scientology,” the municipality said.

[Scientology] has been under surveillance in some German states for more than 10 years and regional ministers agreed in December to investigate the possibility of banning it. A court in southern Germany earlier this month threw out a bid by the Church of Scientology to stop intelligence services watching it. It ruled that there were clear indications that the movement “seeks to establish a social order that runs counter to the constitution.”

Surely, this is nothing that Tom Cruise can’t fix with a little visit in his private jet. He can even bring Will Smith or John Travolta as a gesture of good will. They can do party tricks or something. Good times.
