HOTLINE SET UP FOR TEACHERS OVER AfD SUCCESS! GEW AND THE GREAT TREMBLING BEFORE THE CLASS REGISTER OF REALITY!

Hardly has the state election in Saxony-Anhalt ended and the AfD emerged as by far the strongest political force with around 44 percent of the vote (just narrowly missing an absolute majority), and GEW Saxony-Anhalt has opened a hotline for concerns.

Digital consultation hours, Zoom, heart emojis, “Share concerns, find solutions.” It feels reminiscent of a crisis hotline after a natural-disaster alert. Except that there is no tidal wave looming here, but rather – horribile dictu – a possible different state government with different priorities in education policy.

How great must the panic be when a trade union that is actually supposed to represent employees’ interests sets up a kind of pastoral emergency hotline for teachers immediately after election day? The answer lies less in the facts of the AfD’s government program than in the self-perception of certain circles: Those who have regarded schools for years as an extended arm of progressive social policy are responding to the threatened loss of this monopoly with hysterical overreaction.

What does the AfD program actually say (not what the usual media filters say)?

The AfD Saxony-Anhalt government program on school education is clear and, in large parts, publicly available for anyone to read. Key points that are repeatedly confirmed:

A return to a more performance-differentiated system: consideration of reintroducing Hauptschule and Realschule, binding recommendations on educational pathways, and limiting the Gymnasium to around 25 percent of an age cohort. An end to grade inflation and “coddling pedagogy.”
Ending inclusion as a blanket principle and strengthening special-needs schools. At the same time, children with physical disabilities are explicitly to be taught in mainstream schools where appropriate / possible. Special classes for refugee children, with their curriculum intended to be more closely oriented toward their temporary stay.
Strict political neutrality for teachers: The teacher moderates students’ opinions but does not introduce their own political stance. An end to state funding for programs such as “Schools Against Racism – Schools with Courage.”
A ban on rainbow flags in schools; promotion of the ideal of the “normal family” consisting of a man and a woman; flying the German flag and singing the national anthem at ceremonies; more local and regional history and a revision of history curricula.
Transforming compulsory schooling into compulsory education, with freedom of choice between attending school and home education (the Austrian model), combined with regular standardized examinations.
State-wide standardized teaching materials, free textbooks, more sports, swimming lessons, computer science as a compulsory subject, and the preservation / expansion of Russian-language instruction.
Measures to make the teaching profession more attractive: employing retired teachers, targeted recruitment, and a pedagogical university.

Many of these points have been condensed in mainstream reporting into claims of a “radical restructuring,” “right-wing re-education,” or “brainwashing.” The program itself presents them as a departure from an excessive social-pedagogical agenda and ideological indoctrination toward the teaching of knowledge, performance, and cultural normality. Homeschooling and special classes face legal obstacles (compulsory schooling has a high legal status in Germany, and anti-discrimination provisions apply), while other measures – curricula, flag regulations, funding programs, and performance requirements – are largely within the remit of state-level politics.

Do teachers really have to be afraid?

Most do not. Anyone who understands their job as teaching reading, writing, arithmetic, history, natural sciences, and sensible thinking, and who wants to enable students to think independently rather than adopt ready-made opinions, has little to fear from a stronger emphasis on performance and neutrality. The AfD even expects an influx of frustrated teachers from other federal states because schools would be relieved of “social-policy tasks.” Whether that will actually happen is speculative – but the GEW’s panic gives the impression that it would rather defend the status quo of ideological overreach than tackle the real problems (teacher shortages, declining academic performance, etc.).

Those who may actually have reason to feel uneasy are teachers who use the classroom as a stage for identity and gender agendas, who regard rainbow flags as a compulsory element of education, or who consider political neutrality an imposition. Anyone who systematically runs a school as a place for “the right opinions” rather than “real knowledge” (to use the AfD’s wording) will naturally feel the headwind. The same applies to some union officials whose influence and funding structures are tied to particular programs. Here, the concern is less about teaching and more about the loss of a societal instrument of power.

The GEW campaign looks like the classic reflex reaction

The democratic change is portrayed as an existential threat, emotional mobilization is called for, and the organization positions itself as the only bulwark. Yet a sober examination of the actual policy proposals – the pros and cons of performance differentiation, the limits of inclusion, the purpose of neutrality – would be far more productive than a hotline with heart emojis. The panic reveals above all how deeply rooted the conviction is that only one’s own political line is legitimate and “democratic.” Everything else is treated as an attack on civilization.

Teachers who take their profession seriously should read the program instead of the filtered version. Most will find: It is about school as an educational institution, not about abolishing the Enlightenment. The real concern should be the state of the schools, which has driven AfD support so high in the first place – and less the impending end of some cherished symbolic politics.
