The students at Camerloher-Gymnasium received many answers to general questions from prominent politicians on Friday.
The members of the state parliament were also prepared to make statements about the AfD and gender.
Freising
– There was a lot going on in the auditorium of the Camerloher-Gymnasium on Friday morning.
In addition to a good 300 students, members of the Bavarian state parliament - Johannes Becher (Alliance 90/The Greens), Doris Rauscher (SPD) and Ulrike Scharf (CSU), also Minister of Social Affairs - also gathered there.
The reason: a panel discussion organized by students.
Created by two students
As was the case last year, twelfth grader Noah Renkl and now former Camerloher student Sebastian Dohmen took over the entire organization and this year also acted as moderators of the panel discussion.
A commitment that District Administrator Helmut Petz, who was present as well as school officer Monika Riesch, praised in the highest tones: “an excellent idea!” The goal of the two young men is to get the students excited about politics and to introduce them to political issues.
Renkl and Dohmen talked to the three politicians on stage about various topics, such as the work of an opposition, social housing or digitalization in schools.
Together against the AfD

All three politicians had the same opinion on one topic in particular: namely the threat to democracy posed by the AfD.
“What we are currently experiencing with the AfD in parliament shows me that we have to do something,” Scharf made clear.
“I am currently very concerned about our democracy,” added Rauscher.
Becher even recognized “parallels to the NSDAP” when he appealed for the European elections: “I ask you, let us protect democracy together.
Most of you are already 16, so go vote.
Because the more sensible people go to vote, the smaller the AfD's share will be." There was thunderous applause from the young audience.

There was far less agreement when it came to a student's question about the gender ban, which has banned gender language in official correspondence - including in schools, for example - since Tuesday.
While Scharf defended the regulation introduced by her party colleague and Prime Minister Markus Söder, both Rauscher and Becher consider the ban to be “completely unnecessary”.
“Have fun rewriting the homepage and the annual report for the schools,” wished Rauscher ironically.
Regardless of this, at the end of the two and a half hour discussion there was an Easter egg filled with chocolates for all participants - in keeping with the Easter holidays that began afterwards - in the appropriate party color, of course.
