The adult education center in Würmtal (VHS) has received mail. The sender is Horst Prießnitz from Stockdorf.
He accuses the municipal training center in the communities of Planegg, Gräfelfing, Neuried, Krailling and Gauting of “one-sided language politicization” in communication. In December 2018, the German Bundestag decided to introduce “diverse” as a third option for everyone who considers themselves to be neither male nor female. Anyone who is diverse will not find themselves in the “participant” or the ‘participant.’ One way to include diverse people in the language is the gender star. The gender star as well as the underscore and colon, i.e. lecturer, are not covered by the official regulations. The Council for German Spelling, the authoritative body for German spelling, last December did not recommend the genderstar, underscore and Colon for inclusion in the official German spelling rules.
