text: Many studies to date have shown how teachers disadvantage Muslim students
due to unconscious bias. Much less is known about how teachers’ attitudes are
influenced by the organizational context of their schools. I aim to contribute
to filling this research gap by analyzing interviews with teachers at high schools
with a large share of Muslim students. I show how my interview partners were forced
to position themselves according to the religious norms of their students and
the secularized Christian norms that are often taken for granted in the German
school system. My interview partners adopted various ethical perspectives. However,
their positioning was always ambivalent and linked to both recognizing their students’
backgrounds and distancing themselves from this.
