Refugee scandal in Steyr: Protest against female German teachers!
In Upper Austria, an incident involving language courses caused outrage and heated discussions: A refugee in Steyr categorically refused to attend the mandatory German course. The reason? The lecturer was female. A decision that seems incomprehensible and unacceptable to many. ÖVP Integration State Councilor Christian Dörfel described this incredible story in the 'Kronen Zeitung'.
Dörfel clearly emphasized that people who do not accept our way of life and achievements such as equality between men and women have no place in our society. He wants to put a stop to the replacement of female teachers with male trainers, as is practiced in some organizations. Respect for female authority is at the top of his agenda in these courses. Express reported that dialects should also be taught in these courses in order to promote the integration process.
Resistance to change
This incident sheds light on the challenges of integration. Although efforts are being made by politicians and social institutions to break down cultural barriers, they continue to encounter resistance from individual migrants. The aim of integrating the dialect into the language courses is to introduce migrants not only to the language, but also to the regional culture. What is particularly noticeable is the switch from female teachers to male trainers in some institutions in order to avoid bureaucratic and social hurdles.
Change of course required
Dörfel and other leaders are determined to stop such practices. They emphasize that integration is not just a task for migrants, but a common social challenge. The successes of well-integrated migrants should also serve as a living example of how migration can be successful - a strategy that is intended to motivate and break down barriers.
Especially at a time when integration is the focus, it is essential to send clear messages. The goal is a harmonious and respectful society in which all lifestyles and genders are equally respected. Despite the technical difficulties associated with disseminating news via social media, the message remains clear: integration requires respect and acceptance of fundamental societal values, as shown reported on a Facebook page became.
