German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 21/80, p. 9665.
Herr President. Ladies and gentlemen present.
We move today for a national education summit in the knowledge that the motion
[Drucksache 21/6029] as always will be rejected. It will be rejected even though is evident that Germany is stuck in the deepest education crisis in its young history, ladies and gentlemen.
The crisis finds expression in the sobering number which says that 40 percent of the 15 years old students no longer achieve the minimal competence in reading and mathematics. The origins of this crisis are various, yet have one thing in common: They are the result of serious failures in the Politik of CDU, CSU, Social Democrats, Linke and Greens. Here follows a small selection:
For starters I name the re-stringing of the proven, three-part school system, with its inherent performance orientation, by means of a system which has so far lowered what is demanded that a great part of those with an Abitur are no longer capable of studies, and a large number of students are dismissed in the occupational world, those who no longer fulfill the minimal requirements for professional training.
In addition is the replacement of an education oriented on the factual [Realien], consisting of reading, writing, figuring and natural science, by a leftist, ideological indoctrination of outlook [Gesinnung]. Here are two examples:
After weeks of deficient German instruction due to a teacher shortage, occurs in the first planned hour of German an outlook speech on the leftist discovered terminology of so-called everyday racism. Students who ask why no German instruction takes place will be persuaded with the accusation they would be willing to promote racism.
Johannes Fechner (SPD): Where was that?
Or: After weeks of school trans propaganda, a child in the eighth class outed himself as a trans-sexual. Immediately, instead of doing correct instruction, documentation on the injury to trans people will be shown and the injury to the so-called queer community will be made a theme.
Johannes Fechner (SPD): Which school? Which place?
Maïk Brückner (Linke): Where was that, then?
The list of this nonsense could continue as you like but, ladies and gentlemen, I spare myself that. Let us let it be.
In conclusion, of course may not be lacking the permanently denied pink elephant in the room: The consequences of the unhindered mass migration and the teaching of students with insufficient knowledge of German in regular classes.
Maïk Brückner (Linke): Bingo!
In addition comes the violence problematic inherent with this clientele.
The named problems are thus so intensified that a traceable teacher shortage – some 35,000 – prevails. The new secret recipe against this shortage is called SOL, self-organized learning. In clear text, a teacher supervises umpteen classes in which then nothing more runs, ladies and gentlemen.
And no, my dear self-named leftist democrats, it does not suffice to simply pump more money into the education system and ever further increase the number of school social workers. Their number has climbed from 3,000 in the year 2010 meanwhile to 20,000, which however has obviously in no way prevented the catastrophic development in the German education system.
The education summit demanded by us is compellingly required and needs to make a theme of and solve the problems just raised here by me. The time of hiding behind pedagogical optimism and naïve leftist wishful thinking needs to end, ladies and gentlemen.
Katrin Fey (Linke): Begin with yourself!
And still one thing: The fact that educational success in Germany depends heavily on the parents’ home is caused by you of the old parties. It is namely recognizable that in a desolate educational system shaped by leftist ideology
Maïk Brückner (Linke): Eijeijei!
often only such children unfortunately can be successful whose parents have the possibility of helping at home and paying for remedial instruction,
Götz Frömming (AfD): Right!
and privately compensate for the catastrophic failure of your Politik, ladies and gentlemen.
Maïk Brückner (Linke): Then what do you cry about?
In education – as generally – the Linke themselves with assistance from the CDU create the problems which they afterwards can no longer solve. The blame will then be sought everywhere and nowhere.
I call upon you: Make an education summit which begins to finally do away with your years-long catastrophic Politik and its failures.
Maïk Brückner (Linke): Breathe!
Our reference to that enjoins: Return to a performance principle, Realien education instead of leftist indoctrination, and no regular schooling without sufficient knowledge of German. Vote for our motion. Do penance, and save our children.
Many thanks.
