Potsdam University Magazine: The lecture hall should become more colourful
Religion is now also part of the forced diversity at universities. With one restriction, of course: This religion must not be Christianity. For that is the belief of the "old white men" excluded from modern diversity. The magazine of the University of Potsdam has illustrated this reorientation and overstretching of the concept of diversity in a way that outsiders find satirical.
“There is war in Europe, at our university we are discussing 'diversity'. Does that fit? We think: yes," writes Jana Scholz, press officer at the University of Potsdam and once a freelance journalist for the Tagesspiegel, in the foreword. Questions of equality, discrimination and social diversity are "somehow constantly present and yet other things seem to be more and more important," it says there. But that should be the end of it now. After all, a lack of equality is not only the "origin of (violent) conflicts all over the world", but also "a core issue of democratic coexistence, not only in Europe".
The private should be political
It is certainly true that this topic is now present everywhere. Precisely because it is spread everywhere by subsidized so-called experts. This applies to news reports where the viewer no longer knows whether the journalist in front of the camera is having a pause or is just talking again with annoying gender pauses [In German, gender-neutral language creates pauses in adjectives].
Other examples are men in women's clothing who cheat their way into parliament via the women's quota. And, of course, permanently offended professional migrants who accuse the majority of society of their supposed privileges. Considering that these supposed fringe groups are still supposed to be marginalized everywhere, they quite often get on one's skin with their questions of identity. But that's probably how it should be. At least when it comes to Jana Scholz and her editorial colleagues and like-minded people. Because: The “private is always also political”.

There is a lot of hustle and bustle in the lecture hall
The issue also deals with "queer stage art", "language-inclusive research" and a "Refugee Teachers Program", which is intended to "bring more refugee teachers to schools in Brandenburg". Just right for browsing after a hard day at university full of gender studies. Only its cover is even kitschy than the content of the magazine. This shows that you can sometimes judge a publication by its cover.
The title page is adorned with a drawing that is supposed to show the “ideal” university. Men wearing turbans, young women with headscarves, people of all colors and even a few colorful animals are taught here by a bearded teacher in a purple dress. Of course, the obligatory hair on the legs and arms of the lecturer and the flags of sexual diversity should not be missing. A few more colorful balloons and the lecture hall of the future is ready. Or is that the present?
