Scandal around Gottschalk: slaps in the face as an educational method?

Hamburg, Deutschland - The German entertainer Thomas Gottschalk (74) is the focus of an outrage tower. In his controversial book "Autumn Blond" from 2015, he describes how he gave his sons slap in the face as a educational measure. Weather expert Jörg Kachelmann accused Gottschalk on X (formerly Twitter) of the child abuse and called for legal consequences. The violent response to the content of the book leads to a split opinion on the net: While some condemn its deeds as unsustainable, there are different understanding of the usual educational methods.

The debate flared up again during Gottschalk's book promotion for his new work "unfiltered". The beating of children in Germany has been prohibited since 2001, but Gottschalk remains unimpressed and emphasized that he has no personal guilt for his previous educational methods. Gottschalk is also supported by Bavaria's Minister of Economic Affairs Hubert Aiwanger, who asks Kachelmann to rethink his negative statements and be more level -headed. The discussion about Gottschalk's very personal educational views builds on his controversial statements about women and the generation Z, which he made in various interviews. The events related to Gottschalk raise questions about the acceptance of traditional educational methods, which many find outdated. More details on these incidents provide www.uckermarkurier.de .
