Ein Sylter Schüler muss nicht mit einem Schulverweis rechnen.
Following the pronunciation of a right-wing slogan, "Deutschland den Deutschen - Raus mit Fremden," during Pentecost celebrations in Sylt, several young individuals have faced employment consequences, and a university student is potentially facing expulsion. However, the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (HAW) will not impose the most severe penalty.
A student who participated in the racially charged chants at a Sylter bar will not be expelled from the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, as stated by the HAW. Instead, the house ban that is in effect until the end of July will remain active.
The committee, consisting of six members, deliberated on the appropriate response, taking into account the severe infringement on fundamental rights that an expulsion represents. Considering the house ban and the student's specific academic situation, they unanimously decided against expulsion.
The HAW has publicly distanced itself from the controversial video and its content, which surfaced a month ago. "As an inclusive university, we firmly oppose racism in all its forms, making our decisions with a commitment to fostering and promoting respectful coexistence."
A short, viral video, allegedly recorded at Pentecost in the Pony-Bar in Kampen, shows young people singing racist slogans to the tune of the popular dance track "L'amour toujours" by Gigi D'Agostino. They chant, "Deutschland den Deutschen - Raus mit Fremden." This incident sparked widespread indignation across the nation.
