Der Sinn „die AntiFa“ zu verbieten ist es übrigens nicht „die AntiFa“ zu verbieten, sondern Mittel in die Hand zu bekommen gegen jede einzelne Person, die einem nicht passt, vorzugehen mit der Behauptung sie sei Teil „der AntiFa“.

Was hier für Schulen geschildert wird, gilt sich für Universitäten. Kleine Anfragen legen mancherorts die akademische Selbstverwaltung lahm und zielen auf systematische Verunsicherung. Schul- und Hochschulleitungen, die wissen, was das Neutralitätsgebot wirklich bedeutet, sind unglaublich wichtig.

Am 21. April 2003 starb die Künstlerin Nina Simone in Frankreich, wo sie die letzten zehn Jahre ihres Lebens verbracht hatte. #AnDiesemTag
Ein Schwarz-Weiß-Foto der US-amerikanischen Musikerin und Bürgerrechtsaktivistin Nina Simone. Sie blickt ernst und direkt nach vorne, trägt kreisförmige Ohrringe und einen dunklen Strickpullover. Im Hintergrund sind eine gemusterte Wand und ein unscharfes Bild oder eine Statue zu sehen.
Links im Bild steht das Todesdatum in Rot: „† 21.04.2003“. Darunter ist ein Zitat von ihr eingeblendet:
„Ich erwartete jedes Mal Verzweiflung, wenn ich mein eigenes Land betrat, und ich wurde nie enttäuscht.“
Unter dem Zitat steht ihr Name und ihre Beschreibung: Nina Simone – US-amerikanische Musikerin und Bürgerrechtsaktivistin. Oben links ist das Logo der Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung, oben rechts ist der Bildnachweis: „Ron Kroon – CC0“.
