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.
