Wer hat Angst vorm Regenbogen?

A rigid educational landscape threatens to distance itself from the lived reality of learners, and this is not new. Fear-free and equal opportunities for learning must be the focus of current educational debates, and this is a broad consensus.

Nevertheless, to avoid the tabooing of the real diversity that is lived, Marcu investigates.
