Porn scandal at school: state office sees no misconduct

Amadeu Antonio Foundation ends funding for theater project

The case, which occurred back in March, came to light at the beginning of the week. As part of the project week, the ninth graders were supposed to work with various materials on the topic of "courage" and "current political issues", it was apparently said in advance. According to the LASUB, this collection "apparently also included a booklet with sensitive, potentially pornographic images". According to media reports, the images were of two men engaging in various sexual practices. Several parents filed criminal charges after the incident.

According to the authorities, the school management canceled the project on the same day and terminated the service contract with those responsible for the project. The Amadeu Antonio Foundation, which campaigns for minorities and human rights, has now also stopped funding the theater project, press spokesman Lorenz Blumenthaler told the German Press Agency. Further workshops had been planned. However, from the foundation's point of view, there was no longer a basis for funding.
