School authorities in the Hersfeld-Rotenburg district of Hesse, Germany, have banned the group “Omas gegen Rechts” from making scheduled appearances at local schools. The decision follows anonymous complaints regarding the group’s activities, which included project days and reading sessions aimed at promoting democracy, tolerance, and anti-racism.

Authorities cited the requirement for political neutrality and the Beutelsbach Consensus as the basis for the ban. Marion Van Cuylenburg, acting head of the school office, stated that schools must maintain distance from daily political action groups to ensure they do not become “unmediated stages for political mobilization.” The office emphasized that while external organizations can supplement lessons, they do not have a right to school visits and must not indoctrinate students with specific political positions.
