On May 20, 1901, the children of Września schools boycotted teaching religion in German. Students were flogged and sentenced to prison terms. Despite the repressions, the boycott of the German language lasted in Września until 1904. Following the example of the children from Września, other schools started a strike, incl. students from nearby Miłosław.
On March 4, 1901, the Poznań regency introduced an ordinance to teach religion in the German language for 12- and 13-year-olds. The Catholic Folk School in Września bought German catechisms for their children because their parents did not want to buy them. Most of the students refused to accept them. Those who took the catechisms gave them back the next day.
Nearly 40 students boycotted German catechisms. The protesters were kept in school longer in this way, and the most stubborn were flogged.
On May 20, 1901, 14 students refused to learn German religious songs. The penalty of flogging was ordered. Girls were beaten on the hands and boys on the buttocks.
A few months later, in November 1901, 25 participants of the strike stood trial in Gniezno. The court found that it was a rebellion and a disturbance of public order. The strike participants were sentenced to two to two and a half months in prison.
Nevertheless, the boycott of the German language lasted in Września until 1904. Following the example of the children from Września, other schools started a strike, incl. students from nearby Miłosław. The Września Children strike took place in the spring of 1901. On March 4, 1901, the school received an order from the Prussian educational authorities to introduce the German language to teach religion from the new school year. When the catechisms in German arrived, the children either refused to accept them or, in agreement with their parents, returned them the next day. A student of Bronisława Śmidowiczówna, handing over the German catechism to the teacher, held it through an apron so as not to stain her hands.
The children, taking advantage of their parents' advice, used passive resistance, refusing to answer in German during religion lessons, for which they faced repression and corporal punishment. Reluctant students were imprisoned, sometimes lasting several hours, and flogged three times on May 2, 13 and 20, 1901. It was on May 20 that there was a mass flogging in the presence of a school inspector. The sounds coming from the building attracted people (about 1000 people) to the school. The gathered crowd cheered. Their parents stood up for the children. There were threats of teachers.
Parents strengthened their children in the fight for the Polish language at school. The greatest intensity of the strike in Września occurred in the winter months of the 1901 - 1902 school year. Out of the total number of 158 students in the highest grades, 118 went on strike. Parents were imposed a higher school tax and increasingly higher administrative penalties were imposed. The events in Września found its epilogue in the Gniezno court, where 25 people sat in the dock for demonstrations in the street in front of the school - parents and minors. The trial was held on November 14-16, 1901. The sentence was announced on November 19, 1901. Ultimately, 20 people were sentenced to terms ranging from 2 months to 2.5 years in prison.
