Integration and respect for the host country providing protection looks different: In Upper Austria, a refugee refused to attend the compulsory German language course at the Wifi education centre in Steyr because the course was taught by a female teacher. This unbelievable incident was reported by the Upper Austrian ÖVP integration councillor Christian Dörfel to the ‘Kronen Zeitung’ newspaper.
‘Anyone who rejects our way of life, questions our social achievements such as equal rights for men and women or wants to place religion above state law has no place here,’ Dörfel angrily told the newspaper “Krone”.
But it gets worse: the politician also reported that in some organisations, female German teachers have been replaced by male trainers in order to comply with the not-so-rare refusal of refugees to be taught by a woman.
Dörfel would now like to put a stop to this. German courses are also about establishing respect for female authority. German courses should not only teach High German, but also dialect. The state councillor plans to bring people who are willing to integrate and migrants who have integrated well in front of the public and use their success stories to motivate other immigrants.
