Spätestens nach den Herbstferien soll es so weit sein: An schleswig-holsteinischen Schulen werde auf Geheiß der Landesregierung künftig auf Türkisch unterrichtet, wird in mehreren Online-Artikeln behauptet. Denn: «Der bunten CDU geht es offenbar nicht schnell genug, die deutsche Sprache abzuschaffen.» Man solle sich nicht wundern, wenn die eigenen Kinder «bald irritiert vom Unterricht heimkehren», heißt es in dem Post. Die Umstellung werde von Bildungsministerin Karin Prien (CDU) durchgesetzt. Am Ende des Textes wird auf einen Artikel im «Stern» verlinkt.

Publisher’s rating: Die deutsche Sprache soll nicht abgeschafft werden. Bildungsministerin Prien will Türkischunterricht einführen, um Zweisprachigkeit zu fördern. Das steht auch so im «Stern»-Artikel.
