Corona deniers and high school teachers celebrates Ken Jebsen, Attila Hildmann and the "lateral thinkers"

The teacher constantly discusses the

pandemic *

- not just in class.

According to the students, he

initiated

a

chat group

for home schooling

.

His contributions: Political links such as videos of the Russian state broadcaster

RT

(formerly

Russia Today)

”and the Youtuber / journalist

Ken Jebsen

, who already

attracted attention

through

conspiracy theories

.


When the students resisted such content, the teacher is said to have invited them

to subscribe

to his

Telegram channel

.

This was followed by

“lateral thinker”

demo calls and content from the vegan chef

Attila Hildmann

, who calls himself

“ultra right”

and a

conspiracy

preacher.

In addition, the

rbb

reports

on statements on the teacher's YouTube channel that the

mouth and nose protection

is not only “stupid”, but the

“modern swastika”

.

The next step for the students: According to the report, they want to

boycott

classes

.

The

pupils have also already made a complaint

to the “school supervision vocational schools” at the

Berlin Senate Administration

.

Teachers should publicly deny Corona - and invoke freedom of expression

There

was great reluctance to respond to

requests for

statements from

the

rbb

.

Accordingly, the accused did not want to comment publicly on the allegations and invoked his freedom of expression.

According to

the

rbb

, the

school supervisory authority and the school management stated

that “it must be clarified to what extent statements made by a teacher outside the school are covered by the basic right to freedom of expression, or whether the limit of what is acceptable has already been exceeded”.

The Berlin State Association of the Education and Science Union (GEW) formulated it similarly.

The Senate School Administration has so far been silent on a request.

According to

information provided by

rbb

, the Berlin school supervisory authority has

initiated

an

"official legal examination"

against the teacher.
