“It is not our fault that his eye falls off.” There is controversy over the miniskirts in the classroom of the Socrate institute in Rome, in the historic working-class neighborhood of Garbatella, where a student denounced: “The vice principal – says a representative of the school – told one of our classmates that she should not dress like that , with a short skirt, because some teachers could drop their eyes. ”Thus, the girls from the Ribalta feminist collective, newly born this summer” to talk about the smallest problems we have to face in society, “responded immediately. With a sign outside the classroom, which said “it is not our fault if our eye falls out”, and then with a call on social networks: “Our bodies cannot be objectified: tomorrow (today, ed) you are all and all invited to come to school with skirts, we dress as we want ».
Social controversy
In social networks, from Facebook to Instagram, the photos of the girls bounced so that, in miniskirts, they demanded the right to dress as they wanted. One case, the joke attributed to the vice principal, which breaks out in a school with so many problems already. In fact, as in many other schools in Rome, Commissar Arcuri’s desks did not reach Socrates and precisely this fact, which is according to the students’ account, would have suggested the teacher ask for more moderation when dressing.
The Collective’s response
“Going to school with a skirt was a spontaneous response – they write from school on behalf of the female students of the Galeano and Ribalta feminist political group. We are not interested in the single episode, this is an opportunity to focus on the role of the school and the school community. School is and must be a driving force to undermine the culture that makes girls and women targets and guilty. It is in the classrooms where the citizens of tomorrow are trained, and it is from there that a new awareness of our body and our way of being must begin. Socrates and his community of students and teachers and professors have always taught us this, to know ourselves and ourselves and to be free and free to express ourselves. May this be the time and place to start a true cultural and social revolution, which is more necessary today than ever. Roman history follows that of a few days ago in Paris, where French students protested, showing up in class in blouses and miniskirts to respond to the censuring words of Education Minister Jean-Michel Blanquer. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Education reports that it has requested a report from the institute.
