Teachers Expose Far-Right Activities, Forced to Flee
Two teachers in eastern Germany, Laura Nickel and Max Teske, faced backlash and intimidation after speaking out against far-right activities at their high school. They reported incidents of Nazi salutes, racist music, and intimidation towards immigrant classmates. Despite their efforts, they received little support and ultimately resigned from their positions. Their experience highlights concerns about the rise of far-right extremism in certain parts of Germany, particularly in the former East Germany. The far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) has gained support in these areas, using anti-migrant rhetoric and simplistic solutions to complex problems. The teachers' decision to speak out has sparked a national debate about the far right in Germany, and they remain committed to fighting against it.
