All Rika Fisher A teacher and dresden enjoys lively discussions with her students including politics she says is the only way young people will become involved in Civil Society when they grow up but she could land in trouble if the far right parties online portals succeeds. At the horrible when i first heard about this for quoting platform i was out. The top of platforms from innocent of a time when a culture of denunciation was widespread alric official remembers that time she
became a teacher before German Reunification when dresden was still part of communist east germany. Back then teachers risks being denounced by students if they didnt toe the party line. You cant express any political views on public anymore i can do it privately with my family but not in the open. The f. T. s website invites students in the state of saxony to anonymously report teachers who voiced political views the Initiative Aims to ensure germanys Neutrality Code isnt forced it prohibits teachers from using their authority to influence students political attitudes. Or you want to use this portal not just for Party Politics but also to see what else is happening in schools if theres discrimination against girls or discrimination against german students by foreigners which is increasingly happening because of migration and we want to intervene quickly so we dont have the same situation that we have in schools in

out of poverty. Last fall when it was just starting a new semester at school. This year shes getting ready for her wedding but i stopped going to school in the seventh grade because i got engaged my mother knows him he came and told her that he wanted me and that was that. The mother has just fourteen years old when her fiance first brought her her Engagement Ring it slipped off her finger and had to be resized to fit her small hand.

In lebanon one in five syrian refugee girls between fifteen and nineteen is married with more than two thirds of Syrian Refugees in lebanon living in poverty many parents see marrying their children off as the only option to pay the bills. But parents are not the only ones to blame there is no minimum age of marriage and lebanon and some religious communities groups even younger than fifteen can marry

And emotional moment for mom excel and the republican primaries she fended off challenges from the far right now she is her partys hope to hold the open senate seat in a difficult election and i feel very humbled and honored and grateful. She is the favorite of the republican establishment and has a reputation as a political moderate gone out from representing a Swing District but early in this race she links herself to the president and makes clear shes not pulling her punches.
