- AfD Sachsen-Anhalt submitted a proposal to prohibit political or ideological influence by teachers and to block school renamings with clear political associations.
- Unions and academics warn the initiative threatens democratic education by pressuring teachers to avoid taking firm stances against racism and antisemitism.
- Education professor Rita Nikolai argues the AfD's concept of neutrality undermines democratic values and weakens political education in schools.

Teachers who do not seek to influence their students in a certain way and impose their own opinion on them have nothing to fear.— Hans-Thomas Tillschneider, education policy spokesman for the AfD parliamentary group in Saxony-Anhalt, addressing the concerns of the GEW union regarding the AfD's neutrality proposals in education.
