Inhalt: | The inclusion debate has become significantly more popular since the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities entered into force in Germany in 2009. The image of society often endorsed here is a remarkably dichotomous one, which has an »inside« and an »outside«. Inclusion is thus ascribed the character of a »holy project«, intended to provide people with disabilities admission into society. But there is no exclusion from society. However, there are massive exclusion processes within society. Getting rid of these processes would mean transforming society so that its focus on gainful employment and the standardizations of performance oriented educational institutions can be relinquished. Uwe Becker comprehensively analyzes the dynamics of exclusion endured by people in educational institutions, in unemployment and poverty - accompanied by political defamation. He calls for a correction of the economically geared gainful employment logic of society, without which inclusion threatens to become a disaster for people with disabilities, their relatives, educators, and all good-willed actors of this project. |
