Rainbow staircase repainted in German flag colours sparks far-right controversy
In early February, Junge Freiheit reported that a Green Party politician had expressed outrage after unknown individuals repainted a rainbow-colored staircase in the national colors of Germany. "Painting over a rainbow staircase overnight in black, red, and gold is a clear far-right statement against diversity, queer people, and a colorful society—one that promotes nationalism," Verena Verspohl, chair of the party's faction in Arnsberg's city council, fumed on Instagram.
The rainbow staircase itself is a project of a nearby school—allegedly at the students' request. But is that really the case, or are the young people being indoctrinated by a headmistress who brings her party membership into the classroom? Junge Freiheit investigated on the ground.
