'Kandel is everywhere' demo in Bottrop gathers thousandsIn the past five years, teachers at one in three primary schools or Grundschulen, in Germany have been physically assaulted, Germany’s Association of Education and Upbringing [Verband Bildung und Erziehung] (VBE) revealed during a press conference held on Wednesday.
VBE announced the results of their survey of 1200 school administration officials from across the country on violence against teachers, German daily Tagesspiegel reported
“The facts available to us once again prove that the ministries of education are simply wrong in their assessment that violence against teachers is merely a matter of isolated cases,” VBE Federal Chairman Udo Beckmann pointed out.
While physical violence against teachers is highest in primary schools – at 32 percent of all such schools, threats of violence against educators is not only present in elementary education.
All types of schools, including primary and secondary institutions, are struggling with rising violence, as around 26 percent of school administrators reported cases of physical violence against teachers.
Moreover, 48 percent – almost half of all school administrations – also reported incidents of “psychological violence” at their school over the past five years.
Psychological-based violence is defined by the study as direct abuse, threats, insulted, bullying or harassment in the classroom.
Bullying, defamation and harassment directed at teachers via the Internet, have been registered at roughly every fifth school, the alarming study revealed.
The highest percentage of psychological violence was reported at secondary schools, Hauptschulen and Realschulen, where students are taught practical trades.
At such institutions, 59 percent of headteachers reported threats against teachers in the classroom, and 36 percent reported harassment online.
According to survey data, the acts of physical and mental violence against Germany’s teachers were primarily committed by students, but parents in some cases also acted as perpetrators of such violence.

BrusselsCountries in the EU are theoretically bound to the neutrality obligation in its use of tax revenues: The taxpayer's money must not be used for political purposes. But just as the German government wants to spend 1 billion euros in the next four years on the so-called “fight against the right”, the EU is funding a network of “civil society” NGOs that represent clearly left-wing politics, actively combatting conservative politicians and their parties – Matteo Salvini and Viktor Orban are but two examples.
MiesbachThe most important lesson to be drawn from the Corona crisis appears that it has become a great risk to be a retirement home resident. If one is assigned to such an institution, one invariably gives up basic human rights. At first it was "only" the restrictions on freedom of movement and contact with loved ones that the elderly had to endure, but now it is the Corona vaccination, which one can hardly avoid in these custodial institutions.
GeneveSwitzerland will hold a referendum that could stop the government from imposing lockdown measures.

ParisA particularly worrying assessment of crime in the French countryside has seen the light. Crime is on the rise almost everywhere in France according to the 2020 report from the SSMI - Statistical Service of the French Ministry of the Interior .
ParisThe numbers are overwhelming, and so are the testimonials. Data collected by French pollster Ifop for the Jaurès Foundation, which had interviewed several teachers confronted with political Islam even in their classes, paint a dreary picture.
