German police in the city of Görlitz in Saxony are investigating two left-wing activists, who identified themselves as non-binary, for showing homosexual pornographic images to 14- to 15-year-old students during a project week in March.
The criminal investigation centers around violations of paragraph 184 in the German criminal code. A police spokeswoman told German news outlet Junge Freiheit, which first broke the story, that the “two female suspects in adulthood” are suspected of distributing pornographic content to minors, which can result in a fine or up to one year in prison. What Junge Freiheit does not mention, but which might also be relevant, is that a conviction under this code can prevent or severely hinder individuals from becoming teachers or working with children in the future.
The project reportedly began with the activists asking students to introduce themselves by a “pronoun“ rather than their real names. When one female student resisted, stating, “My name is Leonie and I want to be called that too,“ she was met with hostility. According to a parent, one of the project managers allegedly insulted the student, remarking that in this “Nazi Saxony“ they expected nothing else.
Notably, Saxony is considered one of the most right-wing German states in the country, where the Alternative for Germany (AfD) is leading in the polls by a wide margin.
The activists, who refused to provide their legal names to avoid identification with a specific gender, reportedly spread various materials on the classroom floor. A student photographed these materials and provided these photos to Junge Freiheit. The images revealed included aggressive anti-AfD flyers alongside pornographic images of men performing oral sex.
In response to the report, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Education informed the dpa that the State Office for Schools and Education has contacted the school to clarify what occurred with the activists.
The identity and origin of the two women remain unclear. Although school administration referred to them as „leaders of the theater project “Courage,” in a letter to parents, the artistic director of a theater with the same name in Hamburg, Mahmut Canbay, stated his theater group was not involved “in any way“ in the Schleife project. Canbay clarified that his organization’s activities “take place exclusively in Hamburg.“
The school administration has not yet responded to inquiries regarding who was hired to conduct the project.
The topic of sex coupled with schools and daycares has proven controversial in Germany. For example, in 2024, the local government in the German capital of Berlin had ruled out introducing “sex rooms” for toddlers in state-run daycare facilities despite the recommendation having been included in an unpublished draft of the city’s new educational program.
The U-turn was announced by State Secretary for Youth and Family Falko Liecke in a statement at the time.
“In Berlin daycare centers, there will expressly be no separate rooms for educational sexual explorations for children among themselves, nor any guided or free other sexual-educational concepts,” he said.
“We are aware that the recommendations for action given to us from the scientific field represent a different perspective. However, we expressly do not share these views and will not include these recommendations in the Berlin educational program for daycare centers and daycare,” Liecke added.
In the draft of the new program, educational experts advising the local government had called for the establishment of sex rooms for three to six-year-olds to experience “feelings of pleasure” in privacy.
Several other states, including daycare centers in North Rhine-Westphalia, had already adopted the policy with at least two nurseries in the state entertaining the idea of safe spaces where young children can retreat to masturbate, or as one daycare center in Kerpen put it, “discover and satisfy themselves physically.”
The idea was to allow children to learn that “masturbation is something normal” and that sexual self-gratification is “of great importance.”
The German state government immediately moved in and shut down these rooms, indicating they were prohibited. However, the cases underline that there are individuals present in German society who are advocating for highly sexualized environments for young children, thus posing a threat to child safety that must be closely monitored by authorities.
