Yes, I know the title for this post is sensationalized and misleading. But choosing a suitable title for a story as dystopian as this one was a difficult task.
The alleged “rape day” was proposed for April 24, which was two days ago. I haven’t seen any follow-up reports yet, but I’ll post one if it comes in.
Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from Junge Freiheit. The translator’s comments are in square brackets:
Berlin senator warns of “rape day” in schools
This Wednesday, girls in schools are in danger of becoming fair game. It is spread via TikTok that rape will go unpunished on April 24th. Politicians are panicking.
Berlin
Berlin Schools Senator Katharina Günther-Wünsch (CDU) warned schools about “National Rape Day” in a letter. April 24th is known among young people through a “disturbing TikTok trend” that girls can be “touched” and “molested” with impunity. It is actually “encouraged” to do so.
The letter to the school principals, which was made available to Junge Freiheit, was only sent yesterday, Tuesday, and seems like a short-term panic reaction. It is doubtful how many recipients will still be able to respond to the warning.
[With this letter, the senator warns of “Rape Day”.]
Warning of danger on rape day
Günther-Wünsch writes that “National Rape Day” could have an impact on “coexistence in schools”: According to the senator, the so-called “Rape Day” was first called for via TikTok in April 2021: “In this video, which has now been deleted, it was encouraged on April 24 to touch and harass young women and girls without their consent.” [I’m not even going to make a guess about who posted this video on TikTok, and nobody with a functioning brain needs to guess, either.]
It is also suggested that “on this day there is impunity for these acts and there are no fears of any consequences”. This false claim remains “persistent, also because it is not labeled as such by social media.”
The senator warns: “There is also a risk of following these requests and carrying out corresponding actions.” The headmaster calls on the CDU politician: “Get the facts straight and involve school social work. Make your teaching staff aware of this form of possible calls for sexual assault and of an attentive and caring attitude towards the students.” [Is this statement just stupidity from the political site or simple malice? After all, they created this mess.]
