Hypocrisy Alert in Magdeburg: Sven Schulze Suddenly Discovers Rural Schools — After the CDU Shut Down Thousands of Them!While Sven Schulze defends compulsory schooling as a sacred good on Facebook and warns against AfD plans, furious citizen comments reveal the bitter truth: Since reunification, the CDU has covered the state with school closures. A minister-president who looked the other way for years is now preaching reliability. Pure election campaign propaganda? 
Sven Schulze (CDU), Minister-President of Saxony-Anhalt, has once again pulled out the big moral hammer on Facebook. “Preserve small schools. Secure opportunities,” he posted pathetically. School, he says, is more than lessons; it provides stability and community. Compulsory schooling is “indispensable.” Especially in rural areas, no classes should be lost. Sounds heartwarming. Except the comment section is exploding with outrage. And rightly so. “The wonderful little elementary school in Siersleben fell victim solely to CDU policy,” writes Ines Wohlsein. Parents fought for it — in vain. Nicole Herbst asks pointedly: “How many small schools have been closed in recent years, and who exactly was governing again?” Michael Lange adds: The CDU shut down small schools and forced children to travel around on a crumbling public transport system. Heike Hoffmann asks: “Since when has the CDU cared about schools and education?” More than 1,800 school locations closed under CDU and SPD ruleThe numbers speak for themselves. Since reunification, an alarming number of schools have been closed in Saxony-Anhalt. The number of general education schools dropped from around 2,710 to roughly 867 — a loss of more than 1,800 locations. In the 1990s and 2000s, under the significant responsibility of CDU-led state governments, entire village schools fell victim to demographic change and rigid austerity policies. Schools were converted into nursing homes, as one commenter bitterly notes. Short travel distances? Strong communities? That was yesterday.Now that the AfD is proposing ideas to make compulsory schooling more flexible — such as giving parents more responsibility, introducing homeschooling options, or creating alternatives to the rigid system — Schulze is sounding the alarm. He warns of a “wave of school closures unlike anything we have ever experienced.” The irony: the closures already happened under his political family. For decades, rural Saxony-Anhalt was hollowed out — with the blessing of the CDU and its allies. And now the Minister-President suddenly discovers the “heart of many communities.” The comments strike a nerve: “Always these half-truths,” “Propaganda,” “Think first, then speak.” One user points out that alternative educational models work throughout Europe and that those countries rank near the top in PISA scores, while Saxony-Anhalt traditionally lags behind. Instead of genuine reforms — smaller classes, better support, real freedom of choice — the CDU offers nothing but reflexive resistance and moralizing. Any criticism of the current system is branded as an attack on education itself. Wolfgang Marx sums it up perfectly in the comments: Nobody is fundamentally questioning the obligation to provide education. The debate is about whether the rigid system is still fulfilling its mission — in the face of declining performance, poor PISA results, and dwindling parental trust. Instead, the CDU moralizes the discussion and discredits its opponents. This is classic establishment-party tactics: fail for years, then pretend to be the savior when voters grow restless. Schulze writes about “strong schools for strong families.” Where were these strong schools when thousands of locations were being shut down under CDU responsibility? Where was the commitment to short travel distances when children were being bused across the countryside for hours? Saxony-Anhalt no longer needs Facebook slogans. It needs an honest reckoning with its own failures and real reforms — instead of panicked resistance to every alternative. Citizens have already seen through it. Sven Schulze’s post is not an educational manifesto. It is an election campaign document of helplessness.
