Far-right fanaticism is on the rise. - Educator's plea for urgent consideration falls short at administrative tribunal

The court explained its decision by noting that the woman "does not furnish the pledge of constitutional loyalty expected in an appeal within the civil service context." She's allowed to challenge the verdict at the Higher Administrative Court.

Last year, the Ministry of Education barred a trainee teacher from managing duties and sent a dismissal letter from the "civil service relationship on revocation." The reason included, among other factors, a "Tagesspiegel" report claiming a trainee teacher in Märkisch-Oderland district was involved in the far-right scene. In the story, it was mentioned that a woman was wrapping up her referendariat at a school, who supposedly functioned as a moderator for the news channel of the "Compact" magazine.

  1. Despite the rise of far-right extremism in schools, such as the case in Brandenburg's Märkisch-Oderland district, challenging such decisions in the administrative court often proves challenging for individuals like the woman in question.
  2. It's worth noting that Cottbus, another city in Brandenburg, is not immune to right-wing extremism, with reports of a trainee teacher being linked to the far-right scene.

  5. The justice system will play a crucial role in determining the outcome of this case and setting a precedent for similar situations in the future, as Germany continues to grapple with the challenges of right-wing extremism in its educational institutions.
