Overview
- The Grace-Hopper Comprehensive School in Teltow barred a 10th grader from taking a second internship with the AfD Landtag group.
- After the AfD publicized the case, the principal was targeted with abuse and explicit death threats, and the school supervision alerted police.
- The education ministry said the decision was within the school's authority and pedagogically justified by the Verfassungsschutz assessment of the AfD in Brandenburg.
- Officials indicated they may pursue legal action against defamatory or threatening online statements.
- The AfD calls the move indoctrination and is challenging the extremist classification in court, while an education expert defended the principal's protective duty toward students.
