In Upper Bavaria, a civil servant teacher co-founded an illegal school.
The woman from Upper Bavaria had been on sick leave at her workplace for a long time.
Schechen / Munich - On an abandoned farm in Schechen (Rosenheim district), a group of people has illegally opened their own alleged "lateral thinker" school.
After information from the population, the company has since been closed *.
Now it became known: There is also a civil servant teacher among the founders.
Alleged "lateral thinker" school closed: teacher from Upper Bavaria among founders
The chairman of the Bavarian Teachers' Association, Simone Fleischmann, sees their involvement as a "blatant individual case".
Fleischmann told the DPA that she was not aware of such an incident from her entire career.
“I have never seen a civil servant teacher open a school that is not a school at all.” For her, this step by her colleague is “to be condemned”.
The director was a civil servant teacher at a primary and secondary school in the Upper Bavaria area.
She had been on sick leave there for a long time.
Fleischmann strongly condemns the actions of the colleague.
She emphasizes: Your own political opinion has no place in school in this form.
Schoolchildren should be educated in democracy.
It is precisely against this background that it remains important that teachers are made civil servants.
"We swear by the Basic Law and the Bavarian Constitution when we are civil servants." This act obliges in a special way to protect the basic laws anchored there.
Teacher from Upper Bavaria founds “lateral thinker”: Sharp criticism from authorities
It is true that there have always been individual cases in which teachers stand out through certain statements and have to be held accountable by school principals
.
But you do not have the impression that these cases have increased recently, said Fleischmann.
It is not yet known what the exact consequences of the teacher's actions will be.
Authority spokesman Wolfgang Rupp left it open, with reference to data protection, whether disciplinary action would be taken against the woman.
