Are schools running a “contamination plan” with the corona virus? The President of the Conference of Ministers of Education, Karin Prien, has now rejected this accusation.
The President of the Conference of Ministers of Education (KMK), Karin Prien, has rejected the accusation of a “policy of contamination” at schools. “We are still relying on strict hygiene measures, on compulsory testing, on masks. The accusation is simply wrong,” said the CDU politician to “Welt”.
Corona virus in schools: student initiative accuses politicians of “infestation plan”.
In an open letter of complaint, representatives of the student initiative “WirWerdenLaut” accused politicians of a “contamination plan” and called for a suspension of compulsory attendance, smaller learning groups, PCR pool tests and air filters in all schools.
Prien, who is also Schleswig-Holstein’s Minister of Education, had already exchanged views with representatives of the initiative on Tuesday. Nothing was known about specific content. The students would have liked a regular exchange beyond the federal student conference.
Criticism of Prien’s tweet
Prien also regretted in the “Welt” that she had upset affected parents with her request for differentiation in the cause of death of children who died with or because of the corona virus. “I am very sorry that there are obviously single parents with vulnerable children who do not feel that they are sufficiently seen in their difficult situation in this debate. When it is said that I have no sympathy for their situation, that hurts me. And it is by no means the case,” said Prien.
A statement by the KMK President in connection with the corona pandemic had previously caused a stir on Twitter. A user wrote there of 65 corona-infected, deceased children in four and a half months. Prien replied on Friday evening: “Please differentiate: children die. That is extremely tragic. But they die with COVID-19 and only extremely rarely because of COVID-19.”
Prien’s answer was followed by numerous – sometimes insulting – reactions. Many accused the politician of lack of empathy and demanded an apology. The hashtag #Prienruecktret trended. Prien then temporarily deactivated her Twitter account.
