How is human, you!
"How human, you!" a joke catchphrase uttered by Giandomenico Fracchia, the funny and surreal form invented by Paolo Villaggio, who played for the first time in 1968 in the television program Sunday Those . The so Fracchia is related to the tragi-comic character created by the most famous resort, the rag. Ugo Fantozzi, the protagonist of a series of literature and film (originally Fantozzi was the star of a humorous story written in 1971 by the Village).
Fracchia is the precursor of an involuntary situation, through fiction and film, anticipates and anticipates a real story and paradox together, ruthless and dramatic, the series "reality stranger than fiction ". Fracchia is an expression of today's pathetic and grotesque, a society that becomes increasingly absurd and monstrous, cruel and inhumane beyond all limits acceptable.
In this case, the "human beast" League is a mayor who has threatened to dismiss the teachers of kindergarten Fossalta di Piave, a small town in the province of Venice . The teachers are "guilty" an act of elementary human solidarity against an African girl of four years, whose parents, due to financial constraints, could not afford to pay for the service of school meals . To resolve this problem, the teachers had decided not to turn the meal to which each teacher has the right during the lunch break, for sell it to the pupil. But the mayor's intervention, infuriated by the act of generosity (undoubtedly laudable) made by the teachers, led the director to issue an administrative order against them according to a letter written by the mayor in which Among other things, it says: "It should be noted that the staff can not sell his or her meal without incurring a loss of revenue for the municipality of Fossalta di Piave" .
So while Gelmini and ministry officials compete to offer advice and issue circulars, there are cases like the one told by ordinary ferocity. In addition, s'inaspriscono prejudices and grievances raised by poisonous ideological campaigns on "lazy teachers" , so that slander accusations are born teachers, already humbled by time, a call to honor a professional group delicate task of forming citizens of the future, which would deserve much more respect.
Moreover, the demagogic campaigns on the alleged "free rider" teachers and state workers in general are not new. They are mainly used to cover business interests. Pay the fees awarded agli insegnanti italiani sono i più bassi in Europa dopo quelli dei colleghi greci e portoghesi. E il governo si ostina a tagliare le risorse, arrecando danni irreversibili al già misero bilancio destinato alla scuola pubblica, dirottando i soldi altrove: alle banche e alle grandi imprese, oppure si pensi agli investimenti militari e ai massicci contributi regalati alle scuole private.
A commento della vicenda sopra descritta vale l’assunto racchiuso in Lettera a una professoressa , il manifesto programmatico della Scuola di Barbiana di don Milani: "Non c'è nulla che sia più ingiusto quanto far parti uguali fra disuguali" . A principle that calls for a bourgeois conception of democracy. Ours is a school of unequal inserted in an increasingly unjust, where harsh physical and social inequalities and contradictions are destined to deteriorate. Faced with growing inequalities and alarming situations of discomfort associated with new migration generated by poverty, our schools are not adequately equipped to deal with these emergencies, primarily for financial reasons. Each action is assigned to the goodwill, generosity, skills, admirable zeal spontaneous (but lazy!) Teachers, school autonomy and initiative of workers public schools, now completely abandoned to themselves.
The same "democracy" can not result in an offer, plus insufficient of "equal opportunity" , reduced to a proposal for a uniform distribution of resources, as happens in societies that have implemented a universal welfare model and undifferentiated. It should rather focus on reviving the hypothesis of income redistribution social justice, understood in terms of social equity and redistribution of wealth that are possible only in another structure of state and society, can provide "to each according to his needs" and ask everyone "according to their possibilities" . That means reversing the current social order, overturning the idea and practice to date and well-known democracy, school and social status.
