Von NAG Redaktion

According to a report by rbb24.de, the Berlin education senator Katharina Günther-Lesch defended the ban on Palestinian symbols at Berlin schools. She explained that it was about preventing these symbols in connection with the glorification of terrorist deeds of Hamas. However, she emphasized that the ban should not serve to combat anti -Semitism, but to maintain school peace. The schools had asked for a legally secure way to prohibit these symbols if they endanger school peace. Günther-Wünsch emphasized that prevention and educational work against anti-Semitism had to be carried out in the long term. The Senate Education Management had sent a letter to schools in October to show what is legally possible and what is not in the case of sympathy for students. Wearing the Palestinian search, stickers with inscriptions such as "Free Palestine" or a map of Israel in the colors of Palestine were mentioned as examples. Criticism of the ban came from the SPD, which assessed it as undifferentiated and constitutionally under constitutional law. Constitutional rights experts told rbb24.de that the letter from the educational senator would rather create uncertainty than security. After the autumn holidays, Günther-Wünsch expects a tense situation at schools due to the war in the Middle East and expects hate statements and anti-Semitic statements. Teachers are prepared for this challenge.
