So, evertyhing like usual in dear old Germany.
And just for the record, I sometimes refer to an author who put something up at the Achse, yes, and I am also aware of the diverse and varying background and quality of their stuff. The problem maybe is: you are not, and just generalise everything published there. But some of the authors there really know their stuff, and know it damn well, like Gunnar Heinsohn whom I often quoted, and for damn good reason. Ah, wait, i forgot, he is rightwinged hogwash . Sorry, I forgot. If you get so many trees thrown at you, you sometimes simply fail to see the forest. BTW, my preferred German-tongue media is the Swiss Neue Zürcher Zeitung. Germany has no equivalent in quality to it.
On the education topic, on a few things we maybe agree, and on most things I stubbornly object to you, due to my own views and also due to what people told me over the years form their work as teachers, I know 4 teachers from Bremen, Wismar and Berlin, thats three federal states, and all are left-run. The GEW is counted - even outside Germany - as one of the leftiest unions in Europe (and that means something if you look at France and Italy...), and that is no wonder, since since the "68er" revolt the public education sector and the media in germany have been systematically infiltrated and brought under now practically undisputed control by the left and ultra-left.
Well, whatever.
