Headteacher Christian Klar, who was able to recount a series of real-life incidents to the astonished audience, described a particularly horrific incident in the Simmering district of Vienna. There, a pupil of the Islamic faith, aged under 14, had raped a fellow pupil in a park. Nothing happened at the school as a result, because the offence was committed outside the school grounds. No criminal proceedings were brought because the perpetrator is not yet of criminal age. The girl who was raped and her attacker are still in the same classroom today.
The only thing that has changed at this school is that there are now more girls wearing headscarves in the class, Klar continued, asking: “Have you ever heard of a girl wearing a headscarf being raped?”[…]
That was one of the many incredible but true stories that members of the audience heard during the discussion “Vienna’s Schools: Between Falling Standards and Islamisation”, held yesterday, Wednesday, at Vienna City Hall. It is hardly surprising that nobody wants to become a teacher anymore, said Maximilian Krauss, the FPÖ’s education spokesperson in Vienna.
