German Law Professor: Teachers Not Bound to Political Neutrality Amid AfD Rise

Law professor Michael Wrase argues that German teachers are not required to maintain political neutrality in the classroom, even with the AfD in power, and that symbols like 'FCK AfD' buttons are not per se prohibited. This legal interpretation challenges the prevailing administrative guidance and could influence school policies and political discourse in Germany. The claim is an expert opinion, not a court ruling, so its practical impact remains uncertain.
