School policy ideas of the Alternative for Germany in the federal states: Issue setting, strategies and justifications for dealing with heterogeneity

右翼民粹主义政党多年来一直在经合组织国家的地方、地区和国家议会中都有代表，在本世纪头十年和/或2010年，右翼民粹主义政党甚至参与了一些国家的国家政府。因此，右翼民粹主义政党在政治决策过程中不再是一个边缘群体现象，这一点尤其适用于学校政策领域。成立于2013年的德国新选择党（AfD）被视为德国的右翼民粹主义政党。自2017年联邦议院选举（于2021年9月再次当选）以来，德国新选择党在联邦议院的议会集团实力中占有一席之地，并在2022年秋季的16个州议会中占据了15个席位（石勒苏益格-荷尔斯泰因州除外，自2022年5月州议会选举以来）。由于其在议会的存在，该项目审查了德国新选择党在官方和非官方文件中的学校政策问题、战略和理由。这包括选举方案、议会文件（全体辩论以及质询和次要问题）和社交媒体（如Twitter、Facebook、Instagram）。从基于思想的方法的角度来看，德国新选择党关于学校政策的论证模式被研究了关于他们的主题、战略和教育目标和学校组织的理由。为了将德国新选择党的论证模式引导到教育科学的相关主题上，我们沿着性别、种族、阶级和残疾的异质性维度分析了这些评估。一方面，该项目将展示如何将基于理念的方法用于学校政策分析和政党辩护。另一方面，该项目希望将这些分析置于教育科学的背景下，以德国新选择党为例，提高人们对右翼民粹主义政党在学校政策中反自由主义和危害民主的论点的认识。该项目还旨在建立与右翼民粹主义政党和运动对学校政策影响的国际比较话语的联系。

Right-wing populist parties have been represented in parliaments at local, regional and national level in OECD countries for many years, and they are or were even involved in national governments in some countries in the 2000s and/or 2010s. Right-wing populist parties are thus no longer a marginal group phenomenon in political decision-making processes and this applies not least to the field of school policy. The Alternative for Germany (AfD), founded in 2013, is to be regarded as a right-wing populist party in Germany. The AfD is represented in parliamentary group strength in the Bundestag since the 2017 Bundestag election (re-elected in 09/2021) and in 15 of 16 Land parliaments in autumn 2022 (except for Schleswig-Holstein since the 05/2022 Land parliamentary election). Due to its parliamentary presence, the project examines the AfD's school policy issues, strategies, and justifications in official and non-official documents. These include election programmes, parliamentary documents (plenary debates as well as interpellations and minor questions) and social media (e.g. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram). From the perspective of idea-based approaches, the AfD's patterns of argumentation on school policy are examined with regard to their topics, strategies and justifications for educational goals and school organisation. To channel the AfD's argumentation patterns to relevant topics in educational science, the evaluations are analysed along the heterogeneity dimensions of gender, race, class and disability. On the one hand, the project will show how idea-based approaches can be used for school policy analyses and justifications of political parties. On the other hand, the project wants to place the analyses in an educational science context in order to raise awareness for anti-liberal and democracy-endangering argumentations of right-wing populist parties in school policy using the example of the AfD. The project also aims to establish a connection to discourses in international comparison on the influence of right-wing populist parties and movements in school policies.
