“Krone” has the photo – Burka teacher defends himself: “I am not a liar”

As a reminder, at a parent-teacher conference, a teacher received a burqa from a mother. The woman accepted the gift and kept quiet about the incident. But it didn’t stop there. On another day, an older student read the Quran in a seated circle. Just a few episodes in a series of incidents. The teacher intervened and finally turned to the audience. She spoke to the “Krone” but wanted to remain anonymous. For your own protection.

“Hangs in my closet at home”
But instead of taking this latest warning seriously and asking how educators and children could be protected from bigots, a host of detractors emerged. The Directorate of Education is firmly convinced that this burqa does not exist. The sitting circle would also not have taken place. “Nothing is true,” says the Education Directorate.

How does she know that? That’s what the director said. And the parents’ association also wants to know that the incidents did not happen and speaks of a ‘fantasy essay’. But the teacher defends herself: ‘I’m not a liar. The burqa hangs in my closet at home.”

Other teachers also see problems
But the courageous woman is not alone. In recent weeks, after conversations with teachers, the “Krone” has written numerous articles about the conditions in Viennese schools. There were reports of practiced executions in classrooms, of pigs and rainbows being enemy images, and of young moral guardians causing mischief in Viennese schools.

Even the Office for the Protection of the Constitution and the police reported an increase in complaints, Islam influencers and an increase in anti-Semitic cases among students. After the burqa report, the “Krone” asked teachers again. Tenor: “Such reports are not surprising. The only thing that is unbelievable is that the Directorate of Education doesn’t seem to want to know about such incidents!”
