A school principal in Vienna says he is taking a stand against the “rapid Islamization” of the Austrian education system, despite attempts to paint him as a right-wing extremist.
A longtime principal and educator in Vienna has issued a stark warning about what he describes as a “rapid Islamization” of Austrian schools, alongside rising violence and anti-Semitic incidents.
In a recent interview with the Christian magazine Corrigenda, Christian Klar detailed his observations from nearly 40 years in education, which he has also chronicled in his book, What’s Going on in Our Schools? A School Report.
Klar called for urgent action, stating, “Islam is changing our society in ways we do not want.”
From student threats over religious beliefs to rising anti-Semitic behavior, Klar argued that issues in schools highlight a broader cultural divide. At his school in the Viennese district of Floridsdorf, Klar noted that “60 percent of students are Muslim, and 90 percent come from migrant backgrounds,” which he believes has contributed to increased pressure on non-Muslim students.’
