"The Italian school is back to so-called headlines.
It seems the history of those retirees who receive the most attention for the funeral in many years of stunted.
because this is These include: the killing of the public school, pursued, with premeditation and cold, through the removal of forest resources, the motivation of workers and the decline of the goals.
Without a shred of comparison, from which the perpetrators fled the crime, arrogant and cowardly, to take refuge in the reassuring warmth of the spotlight, cradled in the talk-show television conductors and "opponents" so agile that (we do not stop remembering) our employees.
I will not be here to describe in detail the interventions aimed at breaking the school: just remember that the principle, said it is cutting only € 8 billion from public education. Where
and what to cut is a subject resulting and secondary, of course, but even in this, and it is a given in my opinion even more alarming, we glimpse a vision of society brought by this government.
There is no other sector where the employer is so totally uninterested in the final product as in the Italian school, which has lost dignity and credibility over the years, making his disappearance existential foundation: the pact between the families and society, embodied in the state, so that their children be given the opportunity to grow as people, and possibly better than the parents.
But if this deal is now almost disappeared in the secondary school and university, resist a good offer, and resists, in primary school: a model is not perfect but functional, where families are happy to make up the collections of the chronic lack of teaching resources, because the teachers still want to improve their offer.
But the primary school is the main target of the cuts and regulatory distortions created by this government.
destroy the school, so.
not as ineffective institution to replace a model and an offer with the times and needs, which we also hope and design. We are not conservatives!
The attack, which comes from afar, is the right of people to have an education, or rather, to have equal OPPORTUNITIES 'education, and let everyone comment to this discussion only. Well over
action - but it's also easy to imagine far beyond the intelligence - of a Berlusconi or Tremonti, a Moratti or Gelmini, is visible to the global goal of dismantling the public education system and research to reduce the education bonds, guaranteed by law, to a private, regulated by the choices and the income of individual households.
Milton Friedman, not the newest, Nobel Prize for Economics in 1976, supports this view for half a century. It remained isolated for a long time, but the nineties has found allies in the ruling groups of the economy and part of the policy of several countries. Witness the heroic efforts of developing countries, to increase the education levels of their people. But the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund knowingly contradict these efforts.
Another Nobel for economics and vice president of the World Bank, Joseph Stiglitz, denounced in 2001, and therefore was forced to leave, the World Bank calls for the poorest countries to stop their funding for education basic and adult literacy if they want access to credit and support of the Bank.
against dealfabetizzazione Dollars, dollars against ignorance, and this idea appeals to some industry groups and financial and military in the U.S. and in Europe, but fortunately not at all.
not like the FLC, for example, and not like the CGIL.
But most do not like the millions of people in recent weeks, without the honor of the reflectors, denigrated and offended by the press and television, got up from the sofa to make a bedside visit to the school, namely their right to require a better world.
To them, that all of us, I appeal for a convinced and unanimous adherence to the general strike on December 12. "
