Noch mehr Wahlkrampf
1. Ein Volksbegehren ist kein Volksentscheid, sondern nur eine Bitte an den Gesetzgeber, sich mit einem bestimmten Begehren zu beschäftigen. Es handelt sich also um keinen Fall der Mitbestimmung, sondern eher um eine Art Bittschrift.
2. Ein alter Spruch von Jurist*innen lauten: "Ein Blick ins Gesetz erleichtert die Rechtsfindung ungemein", in diesem Falle in die (nicht mehr vorläufige) Niedersächsische Verfassung von 1993. Dort ist bereits die direkte Demokratie in den Artikeln 47 bis 50 mit Volksinitiative, Volksbegehren und sogar Volksentscheid verankert, das dazu gehörende Ausführungsgesetz stammt von 1994. Eure Forderung ist somit längst erfüllt. Aber vielleicht sind euch die gesetzlichen Hürden zu hoch und ihr versucht die Macht auf andere Weise übernehmen?Interessant, wissenschaftlich fundierte Informationen jetzt auch in der BILD?

Lies das, Gutmensch!
Implicit Biases ist so schnell nicht beizukommen
Der Begriff Bias bezeichnet eine kognitive Verzerrung, eine Voreingenommenheit, die Wahrnehmung und Verhalten beeinflusst. Ein Implicit Bias bedeutet, dass die Wahrnehmung durch nicht notwendigerweise bewusstes Kategoriendenken beeinflusst wird. Die Autorinnen Jessica Röhner und Astrid Schütz weisen in ihrem Beitrag in Forschung & Lehre darauf hin, dass Implicit Biases gerade bei der Personalauswahl – auch an Hochschulen – zum Tragen kommen.
Und so schnell wird sich daran nichts ändern, denn Metaanalysen mit Daten von über 23.000 Proband:innen zeigen eine erschreckende Stabilität. Es zeigte sich, dass von insgesamt 18 Interventionen lediglich neun zur Reduzierung des Biases führten. Allerdings war dieser Effekt nach wenigen Tagen nicht mehr sichtbar – die Werte waren wieder auf Ausgangsniveau. Eine mögliche Erklärung ist, dass die Kommunikation und Berichterstattung über Personen verschiedener ethnischer Herkunft und Nationalität im Alltag so verzerrt sind, dass die Effekte der Interventionen nur von kurzer Dauer sind. Sie werden schnell wieder verlernt.

Scheiße, ist denn schon wieder Wahlkampf?!
PS: hat der Hashtag #weiterspringen irgendetwas mit Pferden zu tun? Da "Clans" in der Öffentlichkeit immer mit Ausländern/Personen mit Migrationsgeschichte assoziiert werden kann man dieses Plakat durchaus als rassistisch bezeichnen. Die AfD hat übrigens ein ähnliches Plakat, dass ich aber hier nicht dokumentieren möchte, um diesem "Clan" keine zusätzliche Öffentlichkeit zu geben. Wer angesichts der gerade beginnenden Klimakatastrophe tatsächlich meint wir sollten alle 1000 Jahre alt werden (um noch schlimmere Zeiten zu erleben), der/die/das muss schon ziemlich einen an der Waffel haben.
