There is controversy over 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 this, with a short skirt, because some teachers might fall out of their eyes ».
Thus the girls of the Ribalta feminist collective, newly born this summer “to talk about even the smallest problems that we have to face in society,” responded immediately. With a sign outside the classroom that said “it’s not our fault if our eye falls off,” and then with an appeal on social media.: «Our bodies cannot be objectified: tomorrow (today, ed) everyone is invited to come to school with skirts, we dress as we want». The Ministry of Education announces that it has requested an urgent report from the school.
One case, the vice principal’s joke, which explodes 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 sitting on chairs without any “cover” in front, according to the students, would have suggested to the teacher asking for more moderation when dressing. The bewilderment then moved to the Internet. «At the age of 37 – writes the journalist Lorenzo Tosa – I just discovered that the miniskirt is indecent. It is never too late to learn. So by extension, it also applies to all public offices (even private ones?) Or just schools? Is it an age problem? “A woman, Laura, responds to contradict him:” I don’t think that men can dress the way they like at work: you don’t go to offices in shorts and flip-flops to say, there are workplaces where there is a dress code “.
Parents are also divided in class chats.: “We don’t have desks and the problem now is the miniskirts,” someone writes. “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.
