A student is arrested in the classroom. It is said that he has planned a terrorist attack. After that, students and parents are left alone in the dark and their worries. You are now talking about the failure of the authorities – but the educational directorate defends itself against the allegations.
A few days after Villach’s terrorist attack it became known: Vienna also almost escaped a tragedy. A 14-year-old would have planned a stop in the Westbahnhof. Shortly before, he was at the Polytechnic School in Schopenhauerstrasse by seven police officers (four in uniform, three in Burger). Neither parents nor students were then informed or cared for about the reasons. Only when they recognized the school’s USB stick on the police photos did the danger. They criticize the authorities.
Parents talk about government failure
Parents (we keep the names of the affected secret) report that no students have been asked by the research agencies to date. Your child was in the same class as the suspect. “He came home and said that seven police officers entered the class, supposedly because of a knife. We knew immediately that there was more behind it. Only from the newspaper did they learn that their son was sitting next to someone who had instructions for weapons and explosives with them.
Wash prayer and ritual on the toilet
Classmates describe young people as increasingly radicalized. He had religious discussions in the class and revealed classmates if they didn’t wear a headscarf. “He said:” All unbelievers must be killed. “It wasn’t a joke, he was serious.
He regularly prayed in the school room and washed his feet. At the Nikolausfest he asked Muslim students not to accept gifts of “unbelievers”. After his arrest, the classmates became aware of the danger they were floating.
Who knew?
The parents have asked: “Who knew that this student already stood out? When was the school informed? Was she at all informed? Or did she report it herself and was she ignored? I am sure that the teachers have been the alarm for a long time – but nothing has happened. Someone must have made a decision to just look away.
Education Directorate: “Have even prevented things worse”
In the Educational Directorate, the criticism of the “Kroon” was rejected: “In December, contact with the management of state protection and intelligence service was accepted and the suspicion of radicalization was also reported. There were also consultations with students in the classroom. There was also an exchange with the affected mother. This was also supported by the director and:” and the Possibly to discover the matter and therefore prevent worse things. “
How many not -detected entangers are in the classes?
Teachers Thomas Krebs warns against ignoring warning signals. “Teachers must be taken seriously when they notice radicalization among students. There is nothing to play here. “In the headmaster, Christian Klar demands that students with extremist behavior are not allowed to return to their classes without consequences.” It cannot be that someone is simply in the same environment after serious incidents. “
Parents and teachers now ask for a clear strategy in dealing with radicalized young people. The debate about the protection of the students and the obligation of the authorities to provide information is therefore reduced. Many wonder: how many not -detected dangers are there in Austrian classrooms?
