A girl is scolded at an elementary school because of the color of her skin. Instead of helping, the teachers downplay the problem. Why schools are particularly susceptible to discrimination – and what a Munich association advises those affected to do.

In the first few weeks everything was fine. The twin sisters were in the first class at a Munich elementary school, in two different classes. They liked going to school. After a few weeks, however, only one of the children was happy to go to school. The other girl came home unhappy every day. His teacher contacted the mother: the child had no pens with him and was not doing his homework. The mother sent a photo of the pencil case filled with pens. Where the pens went has not been clarified to this day. The mother saw her daughter as thin-skinned, the teacher said, that’s okay.
