Connection to Identitarians: Teacher under investigation
A teacher at a grammar school in Graz is the focus of a detailed investigation by the Styrian Education Directorate. The man is said to have taken part in "Aktion 451" at the end of January. This involved a reading group on the book "Making Sense of Race", which apparently contains right-wing extremist ideas.
The book is said to be about the return of "racial theory" - the ideas that formed the basis of National Socialist policy. This caused irritation among pupils and parents.
The Styrian Education Directorate confirmed a report in the "Kleine Zeitung" on Wednesday afternoon, but there were no problems with the teacher at school: "No official misconduct was found during his teaching activities at the school. Teachers, especially at the beginning of their careers, are subject to even closer monitoring and supervision by colleagues and the school management."
Teacher is now being monitored
The Directorate of Education is now closely monitoring the circumstances. "In this context, we are also investigating whether the teacher's private activities will have consequences for his employment. There is a close exchange with the public prosecutor's office, which has not been able to establish any criminal relevance to date," it said in a statement.
In this context, it is also being examined whether the teacher's private activities will have consequences for his employment.
Auszug aus der Stellungnahme der Schule
Identitarian cover group
The teacher is said to have previously been a member of the Identitarian movement and to have acted as an activist against asylum seekers on the Greek island of Lesbos. The corresponding content on social media is said to have been deleted in the meantime.
The teacher himself did not wish to comment. Legally speaking, the Education Directorate should have no recourse as long as the teacher does not disseminate any questionable content at school. According to the Ministry of the Interior's 2023 report on the protection of the constitution, "Aktion 451" is a front group of the Austrian Identitarian Movement.
