"For the president, what happened to this teacher from La Matanza was a heroic act, he needs to award her or offer her a little position in a few months.
For the students it is another stabbing, a catastrophe, a violent act
against a student who only expressed their opinion ", affirms Valentino Díaz Fontau.
Law student of the UBA, the young man drives a march of self-convened students for next Saturday to Olivos, with this motto:
"To be a future we need our present
.
"
It is not the first time that he has been involved in educational policy issues.
Last year, when he was still in the last year of secondary school, he had promoted a demonstration to the Ministry of Education for the opening of schools.
Viralized the video in which the teacher Laura Radetich rebukes a student for questioning Kirchnerism in her History class at the Technical School No. 2 of Ciudad Evita, President Alberto Fernández came out to defend the teacher, emphasizing that "
It was a formidable debate, which opens the head and invites us to think
. "
The president ruled out the idea of "indoctrination" because "there are those who believe and there are those who do not believe; it
is a way of inviting people to discuss, think and open people's heads
."
Díaz Fontau, 19, cannot believe that "the President said what he said.
What debate are we talking about?
We all saw that it was a monologue loaded with capital aggression
.
The president endorses this type of education that today, more than educating, the only thing he seeks
is to manufacture the militants of the future ...
It is not only striking, but also very worrying, as it is that he left aside the way and the tone with the that the teacher faced the student ".
"We need students and teachers to accompany us to Olivos, we cannot continue to allow this subjugation," asks Díaz Fontau.
Díaz Fontau does not seek to generalize that these types of events occur in state schools, but he does point out that "
within public education the teacher takes more attributions and maneuvers to manipulate students
, without giving them the opportunity to have freedom of thought. And sometimes even the teacher is the delegate of a political-party militancy who repeats the descent of the line without thinking about what he is saying. Without reaching situations of this treachery, I had to experience
indoctrination attempts at the ILSE that were reported at the time
".
Respectful of the privacy of the school, "I believe that what happened in La Matanza is of another tenor and
it seems to me plausible that this type of regime in the classroom is recorded and disclosed
, because it is clear that if it was recorded it should not have been the first time that this teacher did it, nor is it an isolated event. It is important that the students encourage ourselves,
raise our voices and denounce these reprehensible behaviors
that show the reality of what happens in many schools in the suburbs and the rest of the country " .
The flyer that announces the call for students on Saturday, at 4:00 p.m., in front of Quinta de Olivos.
Next Saturday afternoon there will be a convocation in Olivos in order to "do
a recreation of how things were happening, since March 2020, within the educational field and within Olivos. We will divide the street in two: on the one hand, the parties that were held in the presidential fifth, with boys dancing, listening to music and partying, and on the other,
the frustration of tens of thousands of students unable to attend classes
because the schools they were closed, represented by students in overalls. "
Díaz Fontau does not seek to politicize education "much less in the middle of a pre-election campaign.
Education is above all and we must defend it at all costs.
The president saw the video that we all saw ... And we all wonder
why not He questions the violence of the teacher
. Why didn't he notice that point so clear and obvious? Could it be because a violent person does not notice the violence of others? The only thing I understand is that there is no worse blind than the one who does not want to see. "
For Díaz Fontau "
indoctrinating a student is almost an act against humanity
, because it deprives the young person of the most important thing they have as an individual: the freedom to think freely. Furthermore, not only the fact is reprehensible, but the reaction of how Executing it is charged with aggressiveness, which is not only inadmissible, but
is on the verge of being a crime
. I applaud that this teacher has been removed by the establishment. "
From his role as a student, the young man sees Argentina "as in a war, in which
Alberto Fernández plays the colonel who is on one side and must defend his own at any rate
. He does not criticize his own, it happened with Ginés González García, happened with Kicillof and the closed schools. He never criticizes his people because he knows that he has to be on the side, even if his humanity is at stake in it. "
Regarding what he says about Fernández's "game", Díaz Fontau expands: "Because sometimes
he forgets that he really has to lead an entire country, not a part ...
And he takes that playful role of colonel / president when he has to defend his own. Afterwards, he forgets his role, says that he is a common man and spends his time at parties, decrees to close schools, and does everything possible not to move the country forward. "
