Hard Stools In 12 Month Old

The 'Resistance' is there but not seen. And the word disappears from the high schools.

In the curriculum of the Ministry is skipped. The controversy broke out
adviser Gelmini, Max Bruschi: "It was implied."


THE RESISTANCE there. The you search in vain in the history program for the last year of high school. That's fascism. Then the crisis of '29 and its consequences in the world. Nazism. The Holocaust and other genocides of the twentieth century. The Second World War. Well, perhaps now comes the partisan war. No, there is to follow the Cold War, the ideological confrontation between democracy and communism. And yet, the United Nations. We are too far ahead, we must return to the previous line, but where is the resistance?

can not see. You try to ask the Council of Minister Gelmini, Max Bruschi, who responds: "But he has read here, after heading the UN? It is quite explicit: Training and stages of the Italian Republic. Of course it is implied the Resistance. We included no mention it among the founding chapters of the history of the Republic. It is a way to strengthen it, no? ".

The Ministry of Education do not understand the reactions caused by deletion of the word resistance from the school curricula of schools. "As if the Constitution and our Republic had sprung from nothing, "Manuel Gizzoni protest, the leader of the Democratic Party in the House Committee on Education. Bruschi dismisses as "specious" the controversy. "I assure you that there is no intention on our part to erase the historical experience, not at all." In the morning a note from the Ministry of Education had called "baseless" the news from Italy today reported that the teaching of resistance to school would be reduced. "The resistance will continue to be addressed as a significant moment in the history of Italy." Period. Sorry

's insistence, Dr. Bruschi, but if it is "a significant moment in the history of Italy" because not specifically mentioned in the curriculum? "Maybe that calls explicitly for the first war of independence when it comes to rise again?". But it seems an appropriate comparison? We are talking about a fundamental step in Italy's democratic past fifteen years has been the subject of an attempted historical and political settlement: when you've rolled out the program, did you forget? "Ah, but how much susceptibility. We did not want to offend anyone's sensibilities. I repeat: no ideological exclusion. If it is a problem, we have no difficulty to state explicitly the Resistance in school curricula. For us it was granted. It would be like teaching math without multiplication tables. " Obvious, right?
