[HIGHLIGHTS] Call to teachers: GEW boss calls for discussion of AfD in class

GEW boss Maike Finnern: Teachers have a duty to stand up for democracy and diversity. She encourages them to take part in demonstrations against the right-wing.

"Teachers swear by the constitution – and by defending it," she says. The Education and Science Union (GEW) calls on teachers in Germany to critically examine the AfD in their lessons. The AfD is a party with anti-constitutional tendencies. Teachers can and should say that in the classroom,” saysFinnern.
