Criticism

[edit | edit source]

She is a creationist.[2] In 2006 she made the following remark in an article in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung:[3]

"Ich halte es für sinnvoll, fächerübergreifende und -verbindende Fragestellungen aufzuwerfen, dass man nicht einfach Schüler in Biologie mit der Evolutionslehre konfrontiert und Schüler im Religionsunterricht mit der Schöpfungslehre der Bibel. Sondern dass man gelegentlich auch schaut, ob es Gegensätze oder Konvergenzen gibt."[4][5]

("I think it makes sense to bring up multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary problems for discussion, that you do not just confront students with the theory of evolution in biology, and with the theology of creation in religious education. But that you also occasionally look whether there are differences or convergences.")[6]
