Overview

• AfD vice-chair Hans-Thomas Tillschneider leads a Landtag motion to stop diversity initiatives in all state schools and bar teachers from presenting political opinions as appealing.
• The proposal calls for reviewing and renaming school titles deemed ideological, citing the Sekundarschule "Quer-Bunt" in Querfurt as an example.
• The party seeks a state commissioner to handle complaints about alleged political influence in classrooms.
• SPD parliamentary leader Katja Pähle condemns the plan as culture-war rhetoric that undermines democratic education.
• Context includes the AfD’s classification as firmly right-wing extremist by the domestic intelligence service and polling near 39% ahead of the 2026 state election, while reports suggest the motion lacks a majority.
