SV: M-TH: New Nazis!
Holy shit , Bob ! Charles Well Maria and I got to go to the teachers conference yesterday. And we scared the shit out of them. Over and above the discussion on the problems we are facing (showing music,t-shirts and Nazi symbols we have been seeing of late) with this stuff I took up the last ten years of cuts and downsizing in schools which has laid the framework for these youth who are now looking at New Nazism as and alternative. Pointing out that these kids for years have been told that they are not worth anything. Well, the Nazi's have a different position and say they are worthy for there great cause. Notibly the overwhelming number of kids who are involved in this stuff have very bad grades and have given up in school. But not all. The clever ones use these others to be the loudmouths while they pull the strings in back of them. Now the teachers are saying we must do something before its to late. Well for many of these kids it is too late. They have given up and turned there backs on society. Notibly nothing of what actully we should do came to the surface. When we told them about the murder threats many lookewd like they wanted to be as far away as possibvle from the reality we are living in. In fact there appears to be a general tendency amongst youth of the adult world against us..Anyhow... One thing to talk but this kind of action for teachers strikes fear into their hearts. The whole commune now is getting a bit hysterical. Even the cops are getting more active. They turned up at the youth hostel last night wondering what is going on. One of my fellow workers a 63 year old women rang up the press that had used my name screaming at them that they were responsible for the death threats! She was just in Auswitz with a group of kids this summer and they have done some great work with the kids in this commune. We have also been given a half and hour later this week before the politicans in the childrens education committee which is the higest instance and where all decisions on school policy are made.. Tonight there is a parent meeting where I am gonna raise the whole question again.. Now I will also go to my union an other unions in the commune demanding that they do something..

M-TH: New Nazis!
Well, There has been a big to do here this last couple of days. On top of a big strike and getting my job extended for another year there is the growing problem of new nazism here in this commune. We have a group of kids who have been getting very interested in white power music. And since school start this has been escaluting from music to t shirts and now on Thursday kids had enscribed a nazi symbol on their arm with razor blades. Over this period we have been warning the teachers and school leadership of the problem and they have completely ignored it. So on Thursday evening when the communal govvernment had a public session which gives ordinary people the right to pose a simple question to the politicians I went. Naturally everybody noticed when I walked in and were wondering what Malecki was going to do now being that all this stuff during the week had been going on with my job. Perhaps they thought I was goiung to take up this stuff. Interestingly enough they put this part of the meeting at the beginning and being that this meeting drew a full house my question dropped down like a bomb out of the sky. I simply asked that those responsible for childrens education "what they were going to do with the new nazi tendency that has developed in school" Being a public meeting and forced to reply to the question they said that they would take up this question immediately! Being that I was the only person from the public who posed a question they attem,pted to go on with the meeting as if nothing had happened. But the newspapers were there and trade union bureaucrats who immediately came to me and wanted to know what was going on. So I told them that we are extremely worried about this stuff and it appears that the teachers and commune have no policy to deal with it nor want to. THey hope it will go over. Got it on to the front pages of the daily newspapers in a tiny little article up here and now we have been invited to the teachers conference on Monday to discuss this stuff. First time ever! Already I am getting Nazi death threats on the phone. And phone calls of why did you do this and give the commune a bad name. And others who thanked me for my "civil courage". Interestingly enough the left party (Ex cp) representatives started screaming about the need to control the Internet in school during the break and I said bullshit. I am against forbidding kids to use the Internet. I even got myself reported to the cops by one of the parents to the kids who had inscribed the nazi symbol in his arm. So next week is gonna be crazy as everybody is forced to take up something they all have been trying to ignore for months now. Bob --- from list [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---
