School, student Tasso (Rome): “I’m disappointed, guys in the parade post on Instagram and go away”

“Majority does not participate because we are in check of the collectives, who censor those who disagree with the chorus and want to think for themselves. But in this way our cause is damaged: a school to learn, not to cry” “We arrived here at the Ministry and. .. ‘puff’ … 2/3 are gone. But in this way they don’t help our cause: a school to learn, no where to go and then go home and cry “. This is how Maria Sofia, a third year student of the Torquato Tasso classical high school, at Adnkronos comments on the arrival of the Roman students’ procession at the Ministry of Education, a thousand boys who today peacefully demonstrated in the streets of the center from the Circus Maximus in viale Trastevere, with a number that has progressively reduced along the way. “Do you know why this happens? – he asks – They come, publish the photos on Instagram and other social networks and then leave. Today it is fashionable to go to demonstrations and the truth is that the majority of young people do not care too much and do not even know why they protest “. “And then … almost all of us believe that the demonstrations are useless. I came because this time it was important and I am disappointed. There are 28 of us in my class. Seven have entered the school to give lessons, the others in theory should have been here . But I have seen less than a dozen because the reality is that we almost always go on strike to not go to school and then …. – the high school student hesitates – we are in check of the collectives and this discourages everyone’s participation. I am not politically aligned, I would like to participate but I feel censored if I disagree with that choir, which is on the left. There was a right-wing group that tried to organize itself some time ago but was immediately silenced. two seconds gone. I don’t know them so I can’t evaluate if it was better this way, but I didn’t like this. I want to think with my head and choose with my own head. when I do, com and today, I’m disappointed. ” (by Roberta Lanzara)
