Campaigns
- "Welcome to jail" - In October and November 2000 we held protests
against compulsory schooling. On several school mornings we stood in
front of a school's main entrance with a banner that read "Willkommen im
Knast" (Welcome to jail). We handed out leaflets that pointed out the
similarity of school to prison.
- Refusal of chemistry lessons
As a protest against compulsory school and compulsory learning one of our members, Benjamin Kiesewetter, refused to go to chemistry lessons for seven months in 1996 (10th/11th grade).
