The school management was warned by the education director after distributing an educational booklet to young children. “This is not age appropriate,” they say. But the FPÖ does not go far enough.
What is an intersex person? What does drag queen mean? And what should Leo take into account if he wants to be Jennifer? The ‘Krone report’ surrounding the distribution of a magazine for primary school students caused a lot of commotion, in which these topics were also discussed alongside nude people in revealing poses. At least four nine- and ten-year-old students received the work, containing more than 120 pages, when they attended the open day at the Ybbs sports secondary school in the Melk district.
Angry parents criticized this: “This is anything but age-appropriate and goes too far!” This is also the opinion of the Directorate of Education, which also classifies the brochure as not age appropriate. “The school’s responsible quality management was immediately asked to clarify the matter and an illuminating and cautionary discussion was held with the school management, so that only age-appropriate materials would be distributed in the future,” a spokesperson said.
Actually for 13 year olds
The magazine, which is actually aimed at young people aged 13 and over and is published by the Red Cross, probably comes from the school’s residual stock, so not every visitor has received it. Management itself left a “Krone” request unanswered.
According to Michael Sommer, education spokesperson for the FPÖ Lower Austria, the measures taken by the Education Directorate do not go far enough: “Rather than appease, the Education Directorate must ensure complete and transparent information and impose the necessary sanctions.” the ultimate goal should be to provide children with a safe environment in which they can grow up happily. “The danger posed by such disturbing actions, such as gender role play for nine-year-olds, must be banned,” Sommer demands.
