On Thursday, it was discovered that two students and a teacher had been suspended from the high school Katedralskolan in Lund, due to ongoing investigations into abusive treatment and harassment.
- People in my class have posted Nazi jokes in various groups on social media.
Communist Gulag jokes and degrading jokes have also occurred, says "Linnéa", who herself has been affected, to SVT Nyheter Skåne.
- They commented on the girls' appearance and that they were not as slim as the other girls.
There have also been comments about people's functional variations.
Rough jargon in the classroom
"Linnaeus" says that the violations have been going on since she started school, but that they have escalated recently.
Even in the classroom, the jargon has been rough.
Have teachers had the opportunity to intervene?
- Now I do not know how much they heard.
But there are times when they have heard and should have told, says "Linnéa".
Have teachers also used such a language?
- No.
It has been between the students.
Did not want to stay
The harassment has been known by the school management for some time, recently the pictures also became known.
This led to two students being suspended.
- During the summer holidays I did not want to stay.
But now that I have returned, I feel that the school management has handled it so well.
We have a principal who takes it very seriously, says "Linnéa".
- Now the atmosphere at school is very tense.
There are a lot of different camps, and some no longer talk to each other,
"Hope they reflect"
One of the events being investigated is Hitler greetings in the schoolyard.
"Linnaeus" states that it is, after all, about young people.
- I do not think they are Nazis, they think these are funny jokes.
They are young and do not understand where the line goes.
The best thing that can happen now is that they reflect and think about what they have done, she says.
I hope it will lead to a changed mood in the whole program.
