German Police Crack Down On Free Speech

 Conservative European reports on an incident where “German police took a 16-year-old schoolgirl out of her class after she was denounced by her headteacher for expressing political sympathies with right-wing party AfD in a harmless Smurf video.” Police characterized the incident as an “endangerment talk” to counteract “incitement to hatred”. 

The incitement? Says the girl:

So I posted a few Smurfs together with a map of Germany on which the federal states are colored different shades of blue depending on the AfD state election results and wrote: “The Smurfs are blue—and so is Germany!“

And she had written on TikTok that Germany was not just a place but a home. Her head teacher would have made a good Nazi or Bolshevik.
