The disciplinary process that began against the director Alfono D’Ambrosio, who had written critical publications, some of which were directed at Minister Azzolina, made the news.
The facts
According to the reconstruction of the Republic, the Manager, who directs the Institute including Lozzo Atestino Cinto Euganeo e Vo ‘since 2019, received a letter from the USR last Sunday, communicating the beginning of a sanctioning procedure.
Among the criticisms advanced by the Director, again according to the reconstruction of the newspaper, that on the percentages of positive students that the Minister himself had revealed. “The number of positive students in schools is 0.08 percent – he wrote – This number means nothing.”
Criticism was also directed at the contest’s conducting methods for becoming school principals., reports Repubblica, as well as the Minister himself who has been defined as “someone who believes in her, but is weak.” These and other critical comments that would have triggered the sanctioning procedure.
Criticism of the opposition
During the week there was no lack of interventions in defense of the coach.
“Professor D’Ambrosio, director of Vo ‘Euganeo, common symbol of the fight against the pandemic, – then the deputy of the Lega Rossano Sasso, member of the Chamber’s Committee on Culture, Science and Education, who has always distinguished himself in his profession, despite his young age. In 2016 he was recognized as the best ‘innovative teacher’, and a few months ago he also received a visit from President Mattarella. I learned from some media that prof. D’Ambrosio is under disciplinary investigation for having criticized the work of Minister Azzolina, without ever offending her. This is very serious. We are under intimidation. Another shameful attitude from Azzolina and the one who continues to support her is her accomplice ”. “Solidarity with the director who was a victim of Azzolina’s intimidation. The Minister of Education apologizes to those who run our schools ”.
“Shameful – declares Dario Bond of Forza Italia – What happened to the director of Vò Euganeo, Alfonso D’Ambrosio? For my part, total solidarity. I will ask a question to understand how things were, but from the beginning I consider unacceptable the lack of freedom to express an opinion pure and simple, guilty of having simply criticized Minister Azzolina. “The criticisms I would say are legitimate and almost obvious at this point.”
“The crisis facing the school system, he continues, is there for all to see. And it does not depend only on the pandemic, but on a management that Minister Azzolina wanted to centralize in her ideas, even going against the technical opinions that emerged from the CTS. I am thinking, for example, of the extraordinary teachers’ competition, started in the middle of a health emergency and then blocked. The damage that the minister is causing will have longer consequences than the coronavirus. That is why I intend to get to the bottom of this question and ask the government to clarify. In which country do we live if a principal, who obviously cares about his school and his students, is no longer free to express legitimate doubts? “.
The minister’s response
The minister himself intervened in the matter and wrote it in a letter sent to the same manager. “I remain firmly convinced, as a minister and, even more so, as a citizen and as a teacher, that freedom of expression of thought must always be protected, as enshrined in our Constitution in article 21: each of us must be able to express our thoughts . “He wrote,” As you also know, the sanctioning processes, according to the provisions of current legislation, are initiated independently by the Administration – points out Azzolina – and not by the political leadership, which cannot and should not intervene on the merits ”. An intervention that “should never violate the rights and dignity of others. It is a principle that the Italian school, as an extraordinary educational community and tireless antibody against all forms of violence and hatred – he points out – safeguards and values every day ”. Azzolina assures that she is sure that the D’Ambrosio matter “can be clarified in the deputy”
