Der Sinn „die AntiFa“ zu verbieten ist es übrigens nicht „die AntiFa“ zu verbieten, sondern Mittel in die Hand zu bekommen gegen jede einzelne Person, die einem nicht passt, vorzugehen mit der Behauptung sie sei Teil „der AntiFa“.

Was hier für Schulen geschildert wird, gilt sich für Universitäten. Kleine Anfragen legen mancherorts die akademische Selbstverwaltung lahm und zielen auf systematische Verunsicherung. Schul- und Hochschulleitungen, die wissen, was das Neutralitätsgebot wirklich bedeutet, sind unglaublich wichtig.

Erschreckend und gefährlich: Mit welchen Methoden die AfD systematisch Schulen und Lehrkräfte einschüchtert. Wie lange will sich unsere freie Demokratie das noch gefallen lassen? Eine Recherche von @krautreporter.bsky.social und @janboehm.bsky.social

Eine gute Gelegenheit das nochmal zu zitieren: "Jahrzehntelang wurden hier universitäre Gremien entmachtet und Präsidien gestärkt, um ein zentrales Durchregieren zu erlauben. Diese Politik wird nun zur Gefahr." #LauteWissenschaft #Lenzen #ExStra (Danke an @amreibahr.bsky.social für die Erinnerung!)

zeit.deDeutsche Hochschulen: Abwarten ist keine OptionIn den USA wird die Wissenschaftsfreiheit angegriffen wie sonst nur in totalitären Regimen. Auch hierzulande werden rechte Stimmen lauter. Was Hochschulen lernen müssen.
Kristin Eichhorn@drkeichhorn.bsky.social

Weiterhin beschreibt Dieter #Lenzen in einem Gastbeitrag für die FAZ heute, was man als Hochschulleitung tun muss, um in der #ExStra Erfolg zu haben - nämlich: "negative Einflüsse von Gremien zu neutralisieren". Ich denke mir das nicht aus. #ExitExzellenz @amreibahr.bsky.social @kubon.bsky.social
