Berufsverbot für Lehrerin aufgrund politischer Überzeugungen in Bayern Eine Lehramtsbewerberin wird von Bayern aufgrund ihrer politischen Aktivitäten abgelehnt. Das Ministerium zieht eine klare Grenze und betont die Bedeutung der Verfassungstreue.

Erstmals verweigert der Freistaat Bayern einer linken Klimaaktivistin, die erfolgreich auf Lehramt studiert hat, die Übernahme ins Referendariat. Begründung: Ihr Aktivismus sei nicht mit der Verfassung vereinbar. @ronensteinke.bsky.social berichtet.
