The silence in the courtroom to save the school
CARLO GALLI In His recent utterances on the school Silvio Berlusconi was able to argue in how disparate and seemingly unconnected. On the one hand, in a context of "Catholic reformers" (maybe "against"-reformists), embraced Sanfedists thesis. It is incredible that is performed in the polemic against state schools. The public school that subtracts the children for families, to educate them to values \u200b\u200bopposite to those in which they were born and in which they are grown up - and then actually "not educated" -. It was this, the argument brought by the reactionary Catholicism - in France and Italy - against the state modern in its time to settle and consolidate. An obscurantist argument, the son of a closed and organismic view of society as a natural body of families held together by faith. Compared to this scenario, the modern state, through the state public school brings young people out of closings local interests and educates them to the civic principles of rational universal citizenship - however tentatively applied in practice - is an intolerable threat an unacceptable abuse of power. On the other hand, to correct misunderstandings of the usual left-wing press, Berlusconi has unlined, the day after, an ultra-liberal approach. That has argued that families have the right to have a wide range of public schools, public and private , including free choice of education for their children. Like the first scenario was hostile to the state in a manner so to speak pre-modern and organic, this one is the other way, that is, with abuse of topics individualistic & Marketing. The first was appealing to the continuity between family and school in the name of tradition, and the second explicitly invokes the idea that the education of children is a private matter for families, which - paying - they can afford click on the "a" preferred. The first refers to a compactly Catholic country, the second supports - beyond the patriotic rhetoric that sometimes the government indulges - a country fragmented along many lines (wealth, ideology, and of course religion and culture ") and not reassembled: indeed, social fragmentation is lovingly cultivated in special schools.
In the first perspective, the state school and de-legitimized without appeal - and its radical right has pushed the church hierarchy to take at least formally the miles - and in the second, however, is more cunningly treated as "Public" to other types of schools as' public - because for the general public of users - that the schools are actually "private" (whether religious and / or secular, but predominantly the former). In short, the state and its school of social work with its equal democratic citizenship is an option among many, as another review, at least theoretically, which is always the decisive one. Once passed the thesis that schools would be equally "out there" - thesis which is already shared by the center - it is then easy for the government who is togliere finanziamenti alla scuola di Stato (e compiangere al tempo stesso i professori sottopagati! Un autentico virtuosismo comunicativo), e darli a quelle private, e così dequalificare le prime e invogliare chi appena se lo può permettere a iscrivere i figli nelle seconde, al riparo dal degrado. Che è infatti il risultato del cosciente e deliberato operare di questo governo verso tutte le scuole, e anche verso l'Università, per una scelta ideologica che, come è stato osservato su queste pagine, non è né nella lettera né nello spirito della Costituzione che non a caso privilegia, dal punto di vista logico e normativo, la scuola di Stato.
Una scelta ideologica antistatale, di una destra che rinnega and down his past (by Casati a Gentile), and that has nothing to do with liberalism, if not with his interpretation homemade, particularistic, qualunquistica. One choice available in two different ways and opposite, as a shrewd commercial offer aimed at target constituencies from each other (Catholic ultras, and postmodern individualists) that only in him, in Knight protean as Zelig, are consistency and credibility. Precisely because he was able to submit its views on the school in the most pleasant and gentle way, that is sacrosanct as a polemic against the left-wing indoctrination that would be given at school by now pubblicostatale sessantottino vintage men professors. It is riding on this injury right-thinking background, this long-term resentment, this political ghost that terrorizes its many anti-political voters, that the right of Berlusconi wins, it is through this posthumous victory sull'odiatissimo Sixty-eight passing victory today over what remains the school's state and its political function in a broad sense - not partisan, of course, nor ideological -. What is to train young people, with firmness and rigor, the public spirit and critic, and do not let the republican democracy in this country evolve, result in the dismantling of the state school, in a democracy a 'la carte , soulless and without a future.
