The Northern League has now learned that the Byzantine and convoluted language called newspeak, and uses it with skill and arrogance. Po abandoned accents and colorful expressions that have made the fortune of Bossi's political movement and Calderoli, deputies with the rampant green handkerchief, after a hearty lunch of lamb, artichokes and wine of the Castelli Romani, brought an order to Montecitorio the day to separate the schooling of immigrants from the Italian students. Let 's see what they write in the preamble of the document approved of Members:
" Italian schools should be able to support a policy of positive discrimination transient," in favor of immigrant children, whose goal is to reduce the risk of exclusion. " admit that a shiver runs through the back every time I read these three words "temporary positive discrimination" ... But I will not use the arguments of the ideology of reformist and moderate thought, naturally averse to such proposals. I would like to challenge the League's proposal to use a tool far more 'simple and straightforward, common sense.
Let us first translate the idea of \u200b\u200bthe League: " to reduce the possibility of exclusion and discrimination of immigrant children, we should exclude and discriminate against them ... immediately! " Nice way of thinking. Not only from the strictly logical point of view the statement is clearly a tautology, but also from the sociological point of view this position is not supported by any empirical evidence or school of thought.
Let us now into the heart of the agenda to include such absurdities are brought
1) the document commits the government "not to allow anyway inputs in mainstream than December 31 of each year in order to facilitate a rational and integration of foreign students in our schools ". Suppose that a immigrants arrive legally in our country on January 12. The schools under the proposed League can not accept that from September next. The youth will therefore have plenty of time to spend his days on the streets, squares, without doing anything, maybe closer to those illegal activities that populate the streets of our cities'. A good way to prevent crime and the phenomena of exclusion!
2) the League's agenda includes " the creation of education programs for foreigners on the following topics: a) understanding of rights and obligations (respect for others, tolerance, loyalty, respect for the law of the country cozy) b ) support for the democratic life; c) interdependence World d) compared to regional traditions, and the host country, without ethnocentrism, and) respect for moral diversity and religious culture of the country friendly. "
Perhaps the League and the center are convinced that these" materials "serve only to immigrants? And the Italians? We think that our children have full awareness of rights and duties and are naturally trained to democracy and respect for diversity?
3) Even the League's agenda includes "the imposition of bridge classes enabling students who do not pass tests and entrance test to take courses in Italian language learning, preparatory entrance of foreign students in permanent classrooms . "Here is this measure that makes no sense and that creates a real and concrete exclusion. Surely you must support the foreigners through a process of teaching ad hoc, but this should be done on time or curricular extra-curricular, subject to the full integration of foreign students in an Italian class. The school is not only a place where students are provided knowledge, but it is a place for socializing, friendship, community, where it is appropriate that the stranger feels accepted and to be able to experiment, though with difficulty, the workings of our society and our culture.
4) commits an agenda, Finally, the government also to "provide for the possible increased need for staff to be assigned to these classes, including it in the next three-year program of recruitment of teaching staff . Too bad that you have neglected updating and teacher training, forgetting that the teaching of Italian as a second language or foreign language requires special skills which not all teachers possess.
Finally some counter-offer. The basic idea is to mobilize the entire national community to integrate el'intercultura. The tool could be a big national plan for integration in all schools and levels, particularly concentrated in the school. Long ago in Italian schools was introduced Lupo Alberto for sexual education ... we can not fish out some modern favorite of young and launch a media campaign? And more specialized training of teachers, strengthening the cultural tool of mediation, improved in all schools of education rights, duties and intercultural democracy (for "old" and "new" young Italians!), To raise awareness' acceptance and diversity through special campaigns. These are just some of the ideas that many schools have in their small already 'tried and which have become an asset of the country. Forgetting the proposals Lega still too anchored to ideology and devoid of common sense.
