Nazi doctrine un German schools

Two teachers in eastern Germany tried to counter the far-right activities of students at their high school. They counselled bullies who threatened to beat up immigrant classmates. They gave more lessons about their country's Nazi past. They invited in a Black rapper to talk about mutual respect.

None of it helped. In desperation, Laura Nickel and Max Teske wrote a public letter describing an atmosphere of intimidation at Mina Witkojc School in Burg. They reported students greeting each other with the Nazi salute, scratching swastikas on their desks and playing music with racist lyrics in the hallways.
Far-right extremist statements, actions, slogans, homophobia and sexism were and are the order of the day at this school.

They were so badly harassed by students, parents and school authorities they had to leave town.

Am I being unreasonable to believe this can't be happening in 2023?

It's hardly surprising that extreme right wing teenagers in Germany would be drawn to nazi ideals

Isn't this kind of thing literally illegal!? As in, get caught with these swastika items and get arrested?

Perhaps they need to take all these kids to a concentration camp on a school trip and assign police and social workers to look into their home lives. If this was my son I'd go spare!

These sort of ideals are rising globally.

Who had to leave town?

Who was harrassed by the school authorities?

I'm not defending this at all but it's always worth thinking "why" is this happening? It's probably a reaction to the open door immigration encouraged by Merkel and the social problems, violence against women etc that ensued.

There's quite a lot of far right sentiment in Europe at the moment.

So there’s a school in Germany with Nazi behaviour where the teachers have had to leave because they tried to stamp it out

Sounds extreme I agree
