ROME – Wrote sixteen Facebook posts critical of the school this season. One, in particular, defined the minister Lucia azzolina “He who believes in it, but is weak.” Now, the director of Vo ‘, the center of the Venetian pandemic in late February, is under disciplinary investigation. After a double report from the managers of the Department of Education of the Ministry, the head of the Office of Disciplinary Procedures of Venice, Mirella Nappa, last Sunday he sent him a tough letter opening the sanctioning procedure.

Alfonso D’Ambrosio Since 2019 he has directed the Integral Institute of Lozzo Atestino, Cinto Euganeo y Vo ‘, the town in the province of Padua that has met the first victim of the Covid. The nursery is located in Vo ‘. D’Ambrosio is an award-winning young director, again in 2016, when he was only a Physics and Mathematics teacher, the best innovative Italian teacher. He went up in northeast Campania, passed the last contest for school leaders, the same one won by the minister, and on Monday, September 7, he reopened the institute transformed into a tampon clinic during the first wave, he said. Republic: “We want to give children the voice of their teachers, a voice that smells like a hug.” A week later in the large garden of the school Gianni Rodari received the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella, and the minister herself.

Considered a welcoming and well-trained principal, he fought to protect students and families during the spring wave and to be the first to leave in September. Why is it now under ministerial investigation? Between October 16 and December 8, a period in which the Italian school showed its lack of preparation, he wrote sixteen posts on his personal Facebook page. Civilly critical.

The first social content under indictment cited a phrase from a ministerial statement: “The number of positive students in schools is 0.08 percent.” The ds gloss was: “This number means nothing.” An early criticism, among other things, by Republic: without perimeter, without comparison, such a figure does not exactly mean anything. Four posts on October 17 and 18 took up the minister’s decision to summon thirty directors, elected without specific representation, to ask them for news and directions. “Friends of friends of friends,” wrote D’Ambrosio under the intervention of his Venetian colleague Laura Biancato, present at the meeting, close to Azzolina: “I express perplexity about how these school leaders are chosen. Who do you listen to? Friends?”

The problems for the Vo ‘coach were aggravated when, on the subject, a post from the former Tosi di Busto Arsizio coach arrived, Amanda Ferrario, now an inspector employed by Max bruschi in that Department of Education that will then initiate the disciplinary process. In this text, Ferrario speaks of the Procrustean syndrome, “of the envy and frustration felt towards those who have skills and talent.” D’Ambrosio had been targeted.

On October 18, the director of Vo ‘wrote: “Desks, yes, desks, no, when do we start talking about school?” And the next day he had the luxury of meeting the professor Andrea Crisanti who on TV said: “De Luca and Azzolina are wrong.” He spoke of the president of Campania who closes classes and the minister of education who ensures the safety of schools. On the 26th D’Ambrosio published this: “Enough, enough, enough.” He explained that the ministry had sent him an email at 9:30 am complaining that he had not yet completed the daily detection of infections at the institute: “I am overwhelmed with commitments.” And the next day, commenting on the intervention of the minister in the issuance of Fabio Faziowrote the principal: “You believe in school more than many of those who have preceded it, but it is weak, you see it. It is almost tender.” Again on December 5: “With all due respect, dear minister, the school needs something that goes far beyond a few declarations of open or closed school, announcements on social networks and promises never made.” Finally, on December 8, the sports director wrote that the Five Stars are not just Azzolina, “in Piedmont they have done well and it turns out that the incidence of positives in the school population is much higher than in the average of the population.” .

Given these thoughts, the ministerial challenge occurred. The six-page indictment says: “Against the Administration to which he belongs, he has repeatedly carried out acts that do not comply with his responsibilities, duties and correction inherent to the function.” There are three charges, now brought by the Veneto superintendent: violation of the principles of loyal collaboration; violation of the Code of Conduct for Public Employees; violation of article 26 of the employment contract.

D’Ambrosio, sincerely moved, wrote a letter to the Minister of Education in one fell swoop: “I have dedicated my life to building a child-friendly school,” he told Azzolina, “based on good relationships, on well-being. Always I have given so much. The hours of insomnia, the lost time, even the money spent buying instruments for the students who need them are not counted. This dispute is a huge stone in my life. I have always tried to continue the dialogue, even in my social page and I do it without offending anyone. Dear Minister, I believe in school and have always respected my superiors. But, allow me, I consider this gesture an act of cowardice, an attack on freedom of expression. Do you want me to die “A man? You got it. My number has it, and for this I appeal to your mercy.”

Only in the last few days the labor judge acquitted him, returning 15 days of stolen wages, Rosa Maria Dell’AriaProfessor Rea, at the time of the Minister of the Northern League, Bussetti, for not having seen a comparison “Hitler-Salvini Decrees” advanced in a work by her students. Since she assumed the leadership of the Ministry of Education, Lucía Azzolina on the Dell’Aria issue said: “I immediately wanted to address this issue. The freedom of teaching is exercised without conditions and tends to develop the critical spirit of the students.” began an in-depth study of what happened to understand why a disciplinary sanction that seemed unreasonable and disproportionate was not eliminated ”. It will be interesting to see if, now, the minister in charge considers reasonable and proportionate the investigation initiated by her offices towards the main critic.

Today Alfonso D’Ambrosio, who does not want to comment publicly on the matter, will meet with the general management of the Veneto school office: however, the call to respond to the accusations is set for January 26. The director of Vo ‘has already been entrusted to the National Association of Directors for defense.

The deputy of the League Rossano Sasso, a member of the Chamber’s Education Commission, sympathizes with the director “victim of Azzolina’s intimidation.” And he says: “The Minister of Education apologizes to those who run our schools.” Matteo salvini retweet article from Republic and writes: “A dean under disciplinary investigation in Veneto for having criticized, in a civilized way, the work of Minister Azzolina (whose painful management is also there for all to see). Have we reached the repression of dissent? “At night the Democratic Party also intervenes. With the school principal Camilla Sgambato writes: “We hope that no sanctioning measures will be imposed, because to pursue the opinions expressed by Principal D’Ambrosio would be absolutely inappropriate and wrong, given that the school is a place of freedom, where critical thinking and democracy are taught. Purely explanatory expressions of opinion cannot be confused with conduct that violates institutional duties. The Democratic Party will always be in defense of the constitutional principle of freedom of expression of thought, both when we like this thought and when it expresses criticism.
