Der Sinn „die AntiFa“ zu verbieten ist es übrigens nicht „die AntiFa“ zu verbieten, sondern Mittel in die Hand zu bekommen gegen jede einzelne Person, die einem nicht passt, vorzugehen mit der Behauptung sie sei Teil „der AntiFa“.

Was hier für Schulen geschildert wird, gilt sich für Universitäten. Kleine Anfragen legen mancherorts die akademische Selbstverwaltung lahm und zielen auf systematische Verunsicherung. Schul- und Hochschulleitungen, die wissen, was das Neutralitätsgebot wirklich bedeutet, sind unglaublich wichtig.
Erschreckend und gefährlich:
Mit welchen Methoden die AfD systematisch Schulen und Lehrkräfte einschüchtert.
Wie lange will sich unsere freie Demokratie das noch gefallen lassen?

Again: every time someone says DEI say “you mean civil rights?” Every time someone says they are against woke reply “oh so you’re a segregationist!”
Words have meaning! We have to make plain what is being torn away from us!!

To instrumentalize what my sister is saying below: every time someone says DEI say “you mean civil rights?” Every time someone says they are against woke reply “oh so you’re a segregationist!” Words have meaning! Don’t allow that nonsense to stand.
Only saying once on bsky b/c I know it is not entirely useful, but it is totally exhausting that in 2016 some of us said “they’re Nazis,” some of us screamed “they’re segregationists,” and a whole lot of very serious people now posting about them being Nazis and segregationists gaslight us for years
