Greifswald: School reference to the right -wing extremist video and greeting!

Görlitz, Deutschland - An incident at the Greifswald high school is currently causing excitement and discussions. Students have made a right-wing extremist video in which they show the so-called white power greeting. This not only ensured an immediate school reference to one of the students involved, but also makes a great light on the problem of right -wing radicalism among young people in Germany. So reports SPIEGEL Online that the video shocked classmates and teachers.

The incidents in schools are not new. An analysis of the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) shows that a third of the right -wing extremist crimes of minors take place in the school context. The most common offenses include showing the Hitler salute as well as racist statements and insults, such as Tagesschau . The increasing number of incidents in class chats is particularly alarming, where extremist ideas are increasingly spread among young people.

school references and prevention measures

In Greifswald, the headmaster became active and excluded the students involved from the school after the incident. According to the current regulations, a strong signal against right -wing extremist behavior should be set. Nevertheless, the question remains how schools deal with the topic of right -wing radicalism overall and whether there is enough prevention.

A teacher from Brandenburg had made his concern about similar incidents in a fire letter in April 2023, in which he clearly indicated Hitler's sayings and smearings on school grounds. Experts like Anne Brügmann emphasize from the victim perspective that it is essential to set clear limits and that schools have to take their responsibility seriously. The Ministry of the Interior refers to prevention programs such as "Democracy Living!"

a problem for society as a whole

The increase in right -wing extremists in schools not only presents school communities with challenges, but also society as a whole. The left-wing MP Nicole Gohlke calls for a better data basis to combat the incidents more specifically and create a safe learning environment for everyone. It remains to be seen in which concepts the schools will react to these developments in the future.
