Criticism of Stuttgart weeks against racism: AfD parliamentary group members accuses ideological formation of organizers

The educational policy AfD parliamentary group spokesman Dr. Rainer Balzer has accused the organizers of the Stuttgart "weeks against racism" to reproduce racism. Balzer in particular criticized a sensitization workshop for white children and an empowerment workshop for children with a migration background. The sensitization workshop aims to recognize that children from the 9th grade recognize their integration into power structures in order to be sensitized to racism in everyday life. Balzer criticized the fact that the 15-year-old students were talked to that there was no racism against white people, while their families and culture were financially supported by their parents. Balzer described this as outrageous and claimed that education was no longer about freedom of prejudice, but solely about ideological formation.

These statements by Dr. Rainer Balzer triggered controversial reactions in Stuttgart and the region. The allegation that "weeks against racism" reproduced racism has led to discussions about dealing with racism and prejudices in society. Proponents of the event argue that sensitization workshops and empowerment workshops are important educational offers to promote an inclusive and diverse society.

The aim of the event is to raise awareness of racism and discrimination and to emphasize the importance of equality and respect.
