Yeah, when it comes to other stuff, sure. Education being left to the states to decide over is multipartisan consensus in Germany, tho. It's something especially the CDU is extremely possessive off.

Also, more on topic, this is very in line with the consistent anti-Muslim and especially anti-Palestinian racism shown by Berlin's CDU major and his underlings ever since their last state election. It has ofc ramped up massively during the recent months, but Wegener has always ran on sending hordes of cops after Berlins Arab communities, it was the center point of his electoral campaign to crack down on Muslim communities, his administration has prohibited and shut down a ton of protests voicing support for Palestine, has made it illegal for kids in Berlin's schools to wear a keffiyeh, tried to close down a leftist cultural center merely for inviting Jewish Voice for Peace (an org that opposes Israel's settler colonialism), and also tried to make everybody in Berlin's art and culture scene sign a pro-Zionist declaration as a precondition for any public funding (the last two proposals fortunately failed).

This is very in line with what the city-states current government has been doing ever since it got into office, and it arguably is what won them the election.
