Internet portals on which students AfD-critical teacher report – which has caused a Protest. The now creative ways. AfD-groups in several German state parliaments had established the complaint sites.
The “Alternative for Germany” (AfD) lives politically, much of it to come in the headlines. Currently, the German right-wing create most of the with a complaint portal for the student and the teacher. Here, in brief, are to left – to – student online a complaint, if the teachers talk in your opinion, is bad about the AfD.
Operator are the days of the AfD faction in the country. In September, started Hamburg – see the Screenshot. Other AfD-groups followed, ten in total, announced.
Also, the Berlin AfD group has provided a Portal “neutral school” to the Internet. It was necessary, “because in many schools teachers only a one-sided left-green view of the world and tolerated is widespread,” said AfD group and country party leader Georg Pazderski the unusual step. Or So the arguments of other AfD-politician blades.
Like the neutral teachers need to be?
The point of AfD is the Neutrality requirement for teachers and schools. The is parties are a private matter, but a teacher should not exert any influence on the students, for example, in the sense of a party. Themes need to be balanced are discussed. This is so in many of the school laws of the Länder. It was also agreed in the 1970s, the so-called bag Bacher consensus with indoctrination of prohibition. Teachers should not impose on students, so their political opinions, but rather empower them to form their own opinion.
At the same time, teachers are employees of the Public service, or even state officials. That is, they have committed themselves to Loyalty to the free democratic basic order in Germany. The Berlin education Senator Sandra Scheeres recalled. The AfD have understood the with of neutrality is false, so the SPD politician. “It does not mean that there is no attitude. It is the task of the school, the convey in the basic law and the education law formulated values such as democracy, tolerance and the rule of law.” The AfD wool exploit, in reality, schools for their own purposes, says Scheeres. The goal of the portal is obviously, “to make politically unpopular teachers in the pillory”.
Creative Protest
Scheeres has thus called for “a creative Protest”. The Motivation behind this may be that the AfD project is not legally overcome yet. There are only grey areas, such as issues of data protection, or the funding rules for groups, which could make the AfD a dash through the bill.

It would not, apparently, all hope, and have in fact developed creative forms of protest. In Berlin, 30 teachers of a school have left the district with a high share of Migrants in a letter to the AfD group from Berlin, and self-display. “We place great value in being on this list,” – said in the letter. “Because we will also in future continue to ensure that students are empowered to make about the character of your party.” It would “not be intimidated”. “We know from history that what begins with denunciation and intimidation, the imprisonment of dissenters in Camps.”
But also from a middle-class neighborhood resistance. Since 2014, the Association “Berlin! – an Initiative for school quality”, which mobilised recently against the failure of education, has written on his Website an open letter. Two months are now to be collected signatures. The letter is to confess to a list of sarcastic confessions such as: “We are that we can in our teaching the complex topic of Migration as an explanation for all the problems in Germany.”
Support from the network
There are more Protest-actions. The petition page “Change.org” has launched a solidarity platform for teachers. 50,000 people have already signed. The pirate party in Baden-württemberg has set up the Portal “My Deputy rushes”, with the complaint portals of the AfD with quotes from AfD-members can fill. This led to such a rush that the Server collapsed.
The responsible for education Ministers of the countries, education in Germany is the responsibility of the States, have criticized the actions of the AfD. You turn “decided against Internet portals, where students to denounce their teachers because of alleged party-political influence”.
From the point of view of the teacher, the AfD’s action also holds dangers, because the messages with the school Supervisory authorities could land. However, consequences for the teachers are not to be feared, said a Union representative. The messages would eventually be examined with the utmost objectivity.
Currently, the autumn are in many States holiday. For then – 6. November – has announced the Berlin AfD group, an interim balance sheet. Then you will see how successful from the point of view of the AfD, the project was. In the headlines, the party will be used to be comfortable again, no matter how much your “report portals” in fact.
