This article critiques the International School of Luxembourg (ISL) for inviting US Ambassador Stacey Feinberg to a Global Issues Network conference, arguing it exposes the school’s selective neutrality. While ISL condemned Russia’s Ukraine invasion, it stayed silent on Gaza and Iran. Students pushed back through poster campaigns and Amnesty International activism. This shows that it is a must to educate the youth to challenge injustice which is essential for building engaged future citizens.

Fatima K., an elementary school teacher, Luxembourg resident, and survivor of the Bosnian genocide, has been dismissed by the Ministry of National Education over her online posts in support of Gaza and ending the genocide. The ministry allegedly argues that some of her Instagram content amounts to antisemitic expression.

This article is a call to push boundaries and a call for more non-violent direct action in Luxembourg. We have a strong culture of “inside game” in Luxembourg (petitions, lobbying) but, shamefully, a total lack of effective “outside game”. Acting in accordance with government-sanctioned avenues of protest gets us nowhere – get off your asses and do something that makes you and the ruling classes uncomfortable!!!add your excerpt
