Kids asking questions shouldn’t create problems for teachers.

People forbidding others from speaking their ideas are never in the right.

Truth always wins. The sad thing - too often with delay

The popularity of the AfD should be a major wakeup call for the ruling parties. Maybe the people they allegedly represent are fed up and frustrated?

Parents and schools should be teaching kids how to think not what to think.

We as a society need to prioritize learning the truth of our history. The good, the bad, and the ugly, or we doom ourselves to repeat it.

I never asked, listened to, heard, or was told what any of my teachers voted for; at that time, the vote was a secret. I am 55

Dude didn't even state his political opinion, just objective facts.

They certainly sound like very normal, level-headed people. Who hasn't vandalised a teacher's home to punish him for answering a harmless question honestly?

One is immediately looking forward to seeing these people in power.

Sounds like fascists are training kids to bait teachers into these types of conversations to create controversy, with the end goal to eventually crack down on free speech.

Once Germany's industry falls to new lows from automotive layoffs, then you'll see AfD really skyrockets.

So... he got reprimanded for saying he didn't vote for them? How is that a problematic satement?

"19th century giants of History, such as medieval rulers"... Someone could definitely benefit from an educational reform.

When teachers are barred from answering questions honestly and factually the whole community suffers

For those who know German, that T-Shirt is so awesome for a teacher to wear. It's a pun on "correcting", as you do as a teacher and the german word for son of a b. Solid guy.

The same people who said they defend democracy and freedom of speech now want to cancel it.... What are they afraid of?
