Saturday night at Massimo Gramellini Che tempo che fa read a speech of Piero Calamandrei (which I had never heard of a school, now I am informed) that the third congress of the Association in Defence of the Public School, 11 February 1950. I found those words relevant today, so I ask you one minute of attention.
" Let us assume, so theoretically, there is a ruling party, a ruling party, which, however, formally wants to respect the constitution, not want to violate the substance. Do not want to 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 are failing to be impartial. There is some resistance, in those schools is always there, even under fascism has been there. Then the dominant party follows another path (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 privilege. It begins even encourage children 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, unless you study and you do best. So the private school becomes a privileged school.
The ruling party, could not transform the State schools openly in schools of the party, sent to hell for the State schools give preference to private schools. Beware, my friends, this conference this is the point that we must discuss. Attention, questa è la ricetta. Bisogna tener d’occhio i cuochi di questa bassa cucina. L’operazione si fa in tre modi: ve l’ho già detto: rovinare le scuole di Stato. Lasciare che vadano in malora. Impoverire i loro bilanci. Ignorare i loro bisogni. Attenuare la sorveglianza e il controllo sulle scuole private. Non controllarne la serietà. Lasciare che vi insegnino insegnanti che non hanno i titoli minimi per insegnare. Lasciare che gli esami siano burlette. Dare alle scuole private denaro pubblico. Questo è il punto. Dare alle scuole private denaro pubblico. "
Calamandrei era un veggente? Non lo so, quel che è certo è che sia stato uno dei Padri della Patria. Un grande italiano.
