The day after the shooting Matteo Salvini a Door to doorhere is the Minister of Education Giuseppe Valditara relaunches the Northern League propaganda on the roof of foreign children in every class. “The classrooms must have a majority of Italians”, otherwise “disintegration and chaos”, says the minister in summary.
Who explains: “If it is agreed that foreigners assimilate on the fundamental values written in the Constitution, this will happen more easily if the majority of the classes are Italians, if they study Italian intensively where they do not already know it well, if Italian history, literature, art and music are taught in depth in schools if parents are also involved in learning the Italian language and culture and if they do not live in separate communities. It is in this direction that we intend move.”
On social media he adds: “Inclusion can happen by assimilating the new arrivals on the fundamental values, those that are contained in the Constitution and that belong to the identity of those who welcome, or by creating the melting pot society, where everyone thinks and does what they want. The first society has an orderly and prosperous future, the second faces disintegration and chaos.”

The proposed cap on foreign students in the classroom, Matteo Salvini he had already advanced it several years ago after the case of a Roman school, Pisacane, where entire classes were mainly made up of immigrant pupils or children of immigrants. Last night, on TV, you explained: “If you have many children who speak different languages and not Italian, it’s chaos. The presence of students must be monitored. 20 percent of foreigners in a class is stimulating, but when Italians are a fifth of them, how can a teacher explain?”.
A proposal, recalls the Flc Cgil, of “Gelminian memory”, since the minister of the Berlusconi government already proposed a ceiling of 30% for foreigners in class, a percentage that the transport manager would now even like to lower to 20. idea out of time – for Gianna Fracassi, general secretary of the Flc Cgil – a provision that would penalize those coming from migratory backgrounds without taking into consideration the composition of the current society and the unifying function of the school. And which would also be inapplicable, if not uprooting from their context of life and relationships tens of thousands of girls and boys, who would be diverted to schools far from their homes and their classmates”.
“Exactly the opposite of what every inclusion process should be which, instead, requires respect for everyone’s experience, acceptance and, as far as schools are concerned, investments to create educational learning environments that promote the well-being and growth of all and of everyone”, concludes Fracassi.
“The minister would do well to deal with bridges instead of roofs. In the school of the Constitution there is no room for discriminatory logic”, concludes the leader of the Flc CGIL.
“The Italian school – replied the leader of the Democratic Party in the Culture Commission of the Chamber, Irene Manzi – has demonstrated that it knows how to integrate without this cheap propaganda. It would be worth knowing better what already happens in many schools with high immigration that can be found around Italy. It is necessary to try to implement specific accompaniment and mediation strategies and actions for foreign students. Let’s leave the best choices to promote school integration to the autonomy of the school community, and not to the impromptu outbursts of the Minister of Transport.”
Senator Pd Filippo Sensi on X he writes: “All that’s missing is apartheid and the death penalty and they’ve said them all. We would like a roof, but to shame.”
