These are days of protests and agitation for people like me is a precarious slacker college.
I will not speak of the Law 133 and how this law will lead to the disappearance of the public university system. I know already that you are aware, as you know, and I respect you (all five or six, many of you).
you place However, a power point summary -popular made by CA Veracini, professor of the Dept. of Chemistry, University of Pisa, which perhaps can be useful if you want to know more about on your blogs (which have certainly higher impact factor ...).
And then I want to post an excerpt a speech by Piero Calamandrei of 1950 (!!!!).
"Let's say, so theoretically, there is a ruling party, a ruling party, which, however, formally wants to respect the constitution, not want to violate the substance. It does not make the march on Rome and transform 'classroom space for the paddles, but wants to establish, without opinion, a disguised dictatorship. So, what to do to gain control of the schools and to transform the State schools into Party schools? He realizes that the State schools have the defect to be impartial. There is some resistance, in those schools is always there, even under fascism has been there. So, the ruling party followed by another road (it's all a theoretical hypothesis, mind you). He begins to neglect the public schools, to discredit, to impoverish. Let it anemizzino and begins to favor private schools. Not all private schools. The schools of his party, that party. And then all these treatments are beginning to go to private schools. Cure of money and privileges. He even begins to advise the boys to go to these schools, because basically it says are better than those of the state. And maybe give themselves awards, as now I will tell you, or proposes to give awards to citizens who are willing to send their children to public schools rather than private schools. A "those" private schools. The exams are easier, is studied less and do best. So the private school becomes a privileged school. The ruling party, could not transform the State schools openly in Party schools, send the dogs to schools to give priority to the state's private schools. Beware, my friends, this conference this is the point that we must discuss. Warning, this is the recipe. We must keep an eye on the cooks of this low kitchen. The operation is done in three ways: I have already said, ruin the State schools. Let go to hell. Depleting their budgets. Ignore their needs. Mitigate the supervision and control over private schools. Do not check its reliability. Let the teachers teach you that do not have titles standards for teaching. Let the examinations are jokes. Giving public money to private schools. This is the point. Giving public money to private schools "
