Porn scandal at school in Saxony becomes a topic in the Bundestag

Project discontinued and criminal charges filed

According to the authorities, the school management discontinued the project and terminated the service contract with those responsible for the project. The Amadeu Antonio Foundation, which campaigns for minorities and human rights and, according to its own information, provided financial support for the workshop, stopped the funding, according to a statement. Several parents filed criminal charges after the incident. The police are investigating on suspicion of distributing pornographic content to minors.

Schools are actually a matter for the federal states and outside the regulatory powers of the federal government. Nevertheless, the AfD is putting the issue on the agenda in the Bundestag. The whole thing is considered to be just the tip of the iceberg, said the parliamentary group's education policy spokesperson, Götz Frömming. The AfD is aggressively mobilizing against so-called NGOs (non-governmental organizations), such as the Amadeu Antonio Foundation, as it believes they exert too much political influence.
