The school and the question of freedom
Come era prevedibile, le vibranti penne del centrodestra stanno producendosi in performance degne dell’Uomo Spider to justify the outputs of the Big Boss on the school.
the Journal's editorial shines Mario Giordano. A classic example of how journalism should not be, since it cites and quotes, but never return the source (which would normally study the manual on which students define Berlusconi a thug who led Italy into chaos " ?). Send this article because, in the rush to defend the Prime Minister, Jordan maintains a paradoxical argument. This " what's the point then? Simple: to assure everyone the freedom to choose. Dare, that is, families can decide what training given to children, a topic too sensitive and too important to be left to chance or to the opium dens of ideology. Want to see your son every morning sings People Next? Please, go to school in Turin. Want your child to recite the Hail Mary? There is a Catholic school. Do you prefer an ode to Hare Krishna? Go to the school of the orange. Once that schools meet standards set by the ministry, the only problem is to put families in a position to choose the education they deem most appropriate. Who's afraid of giving this opportunity, obviously, does not like or families, or do not love freedom. And therefore prefer to keep the monopoly of indoctrination to continue indefinitely to inculcate the usual lies: the gulag do not exist, the Red Brigades were fascist Stalin was right. "
omit both reduced to caricatures of teachers, is the whole part about the trifle of Article 33 of the Constitution (" entities and private persons have the right to establish schools and educational establishments at no cost to the State " ) that the editorial is blithely ignored. The aspect that I want to draw attention instead is another: Jordan does not realize that what he hopes is the opposite of liberalism.
A true liberal education, in fact, assumes that if I am a Catholic Ave Maria taught me at home (and the Catechism) and out of the house in case I explain (I explain, "and not" teach me ") and the Hail Mary, and the People Next, both ode to the Hare Krishna (I take the snip Jordanian triad) to get an idea and give me the basic tools to decide freely and then when I have consciousness. As argued
* Norberto Bobbio " than agl'insegnanti be free means not being obliged to follow certain doctrines in preference to others, to adopt certain interpretations over others, to support some claim to the exclusion of others, and not be prevented from expressing certain ideas from certain profess beliefs, by supporting certain arguments, compared to the students, to be free means not being forced to accept uncritically a compulsory categorically, dogmatically, the ideas of the master, and not be prevented from discussing doctrines, interpretations, claim that their proposals are "
What Jordan describes is really rather a system where values \u200b\u200bare inculcated in children and are afraid to give them an opportunity: to learn. There is nothing secular in that he wants Jordan, c ' is very fundamentalist indoctrination. It 's a blinkered view of the world, where schools do not take teachers under their jurisdiction, but on basis of their ideology and where the history, geography, the right not to be discussed on the basis of objective data, but the ideological goals that institute school arises.
Personally, I am quite concerned that some shit is to support the (so-called) liberals in our house.
