“Scandal of the special class”
It is a picture that causes bewilderment. In the Austrian Styria, a nine-year-old schoolboy was thrown in front of the door – although he was able to present an exemption for wearing a corona mask. When the temperature was below zero, he had to take a proficiency test in the open air in front of the class window. Politicians want to examine the autumn nun. The student’s parents hired a lawyer.
Boy was “treated like a leper”
According to the “Kronen Zeitung” newspaper, the scenes that have now made even the most vigilant politicians took place in Voitsberg in western Styria. Accordingly, the school principal insisted that the boy no longer takes part in classroom lessons. And all because he had submitted a mask exemption on January 9th. In an interview with the newspaper, FPÖ Federal Councilor Markus Leinfellner speaks of a “special class scandal. It cannot be that a student is treated like a leper despite having a medical certificate. It is absolutely possible to go back to the agenda after this incident.”
The education directorate is now in the process of finding out with the help of the school quality manager how the incident could even come about. One is in talks with the school management and the competent teachers. In any case, having a test taken outdoors is not lawful. So far there has been no statement from the Voitsberg elementary school. “If there is misconduct, there will definitely be consequences under service law,” says the responsible persons. (cch)
