Overview

• A Teltow tenth-grader sought to repeat an internship with the AfD parliamentary group, which the Grace-Hopper school barred under a rule against two placements with the same employer.
• The AfD publicized the case through a video by state lawmaker Lena Kotré, and the right-wing magazine Compact further amplified it.
• The headmaster has faced a wave of hostile online posts including death threats and calls to publish personal data, some of which were later deleted, and police were alerted.
• Brandenburg’s Education Ministry and school supervision reviewed the case, reported no misconduct, and said schools may restrict placements that expose minors to unmediated extremist ideology, citing the state intelligence assessment of the AfD branch.
• The AfD is challenging that classification in court, the headmaster describes a targeted campaign and declined an RBB interview, and SPD lawmakers voiced support as BSW noted the pending legal status.
