Hello fellow home builders,

we have started constructing a single-family house. The approved building permit / planning permission includes a gas heating system, which we still want to install.

There are two possible scenarios:

1. What happens if the heating system is installed in October 2023, but the house is only inspected and approved in February 2024?

2. What happens if the heating system is installed in January 2024, and the house is inspected and approved in May 2024?

Both options are difficult to plan for. So far, we do not know whether the construction schedule might be delayed.
I haven't found any information on this. Do you have any further details?

Regards,

Okay, and what do you consider to be indoctrination here? The fact that this classification is presented at all? The categories? Or the specific group divisions?
From my point of view, none of this on the worksheet qualifies as indoctrination. It would become indoctrination if the teaching staff, for example, did not allow any discussion about the specific grouping and dismissed the question of whether a white person or Christian might also face discrimination in certain environments as completely ridiculous.

Exactly… who listed these categories as if they were official dictionary entries? And I would really like to know what the response would be if a student wrote: I don’t believe white men (category interchangeable here) are not discriminated against. They’d probably get an A+.

In social studies classes in Saxony-Anhalt, students from grade 8 onwards can learn to categorize people as "discriminated" and "non-discriminated." Well, but you teach physics, so it’s a perfect world there.

🤨 There are actually groups in our society that are frequently discriminated against?? And these are even minorities, not wealthy white middle-aged men??
Shocking realization 🤨

Well, can you give an example where white men are discriminated against?

I often come across discussions about whether support for minorities and quotas are inherently discriminatory against those who are not supported. For example, when "applications from xy are given preferential treatment." If two people with otherwise similar qualifications apply, and then suddenly gender becomes the deciding factor because the company isn’t diverse enough. On the one hand, I believe that a diverse workforce at all levels is definitely beneficial for a company. On the other hand, it does leave a somewhat unpleasant impression when, in a specific case, that was the actual selection criterion. Sometimes it even seems to reinforce prejudices, as in “A woman as a leader? Well, she probably only got the position because of the quota” (implying she is less capable). I don’t have a good solution for this either and sometimes think maybe it’s a temporary downside that has to be accepted for a while on the path to a fairer world. But it certainly doesn’t feel ideal.

Well, I find the worksheet problematic because the third column suggests a fixed definition and, moreover, the non-discrimination of one person doesn’t necessarily relate to the discrimination of someone else.

From a teaching perspective: I would have left out the third column and instead assigned as an additional task to identify a “privileged” group—chosen freely.

“Indoctrinating,” however, is something quite different from a worksheet of this quality.
