Some
proposal on this?
are terrified of the initiative of the Ministry of Education (no longer public), University and Scientific Research which, together with the Regional School Office of the Lazio Region, organized a day for orientation of students of fifth throughout the region Lazio.
said that there would be nothing surprising, but I would not explain a number of minor details of the initiative in question:
1) The meeting was funded by the ministry that produced the so-called Reform Gelmini, disasters and cuts to public education, public universities are encouraged those e. .. Private (Pontifical Universities in Rome)!
2) This funding is no small matter, given that the participating students from all over Lazio, will be 5000! They will be offered in moving bus, gadgets, and lunch. (We're talking about 100 coaches and 5,000 lunches, more gadgets)
3) Do not stop there: because the bus? Why is the meeting place away from it all: the Sanctuary of Divine Love!
4) The place where you will play the Conference underlines the intent: why it was chosen the Sanctuary of Divine Love is written clearly in the Ministerial Circular sent to the Deans. I quote: "the Sanctuary of Divine Love is a traditional destination of pilgrimages that take place mostly at night. Today as yesterday, the Shrine is for all - Catholics and other religions, believers and nonbelievers, Italian and foreign nationals and pilgrims in Rome - as the goal of a night journey, full of human passage
difficulties but ends in the morning light. The pilgrimage, long journey through the night, is evocative of a symbolic message to our youth: the life we \u200b\u200blive and we build meets times of doubt and effort, especially when dealing with important choices, and the fear and uncertainty are compared with desire. These are moments that unite us all in the search interior solutions, in a process of gradual awareness that allows us to "break through the night" in the light of day is born. "
5) Finally: The students will then be entertained by a musical Star Rose Academy (Academy show founded by the Ursuline Sisters), and will finally be able to attend the mass celebrated by the Rector of the Pontifical Lateran University.
Christian or not: there seems to be a serious (and expensive) affront to the concept of public education and secular? possible that we have to offer on a silver platter such advertising to private and Catholic universities, particularly at a time when the Public education our state has been hit so hard? Can we pay this, when schools are "pulling forward" with difficulty because they lack the essential to the operation?
Please spread and to propose some significant political action (a parliamentary?)
