Abstract
ABSTRACT This article analyzes the open educational resource Grenzenlos Deutsch (GD) in the context of political resistance against diversity, equity, and inclusivity initiatives (DEI). Attacks on DEI are not merely attempts to curtail ideas and practices but to police and erase particular bodies. Recent legislation targeting DEI at North American schools and universities illustrates the politicization of bodies in the language classroom. In conversation with queer, trans, and disability studies, we contend that the use of inclusive teaching materials in the language classroom exposes and subverts essentialist and ableist cultures and beliefs in absolute social norms. Understanding language learning as an embodied practice, this article considers the body politics of GD and its wider implication in the face of bans on DEI by focusing on GD's representation of non‐normative bodies, its attention to accessibility, and its approach to gender and grammar. The essay concludes with a call to action for fashioning more equitable educational environments.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
