School, entrance in the second hour and open belly at the Righi in Rome: “No to sexism”

Hundreds of students of the Righi high school in the capital skipped the first hour of class today to protest against “the insults of a teacher to one of our third year classmates, to whom a teacher said ‘what are you on Salaria?”. “Righi zona fuchsia”, “Welcome * in the Middle Ages” was written on two banners in support of the sixteen-year-old, displayed at the entrance. Beside a crowd of guys in skirts, shorts, neon socks and crocs; and girls with strictly bare bellies, fishnet stockings, miniskirts … all united in breaking the ‘dress code’ and reaffirming that “sexism has no place in schools”. “We of the ludus collective and of the Righi high school have decided to give a strong and clear signal to reaffirm this concept”, comments a student of the Collettivo. While the extraordinary assembly in solidarity with the girl offended by the teacher for her uncovered belly, continues even in the second hour between music and slogans shouted over the loudspeaker, in front of the entrance to the high school for a smaller group of demonstrators. “The teacher did not have me. expressly given to the prostitute, but he accused me of commodifying my body, for the way I was dressed – the student tells Adnkronos – Everything was unleashed because during an hour of hole with a partner we were doing a ballet to post on tik tok. She entered without saying anything. We sat down and apologized. At that point she accused me of commodifying my body. And then in front of the vice-principal – denounces the girl – the teacher insisted, getting up the shirt and moving in a sensual way to make me understand that he did not want to call me a prostitute, but to protect me. But he told me something else: that I was selling my body “. The meeting with the vice principal was followed by the meeting with the manager. The teacher, says the girl, “apologized for the unhappy word ‘Salaria’, but not for calling me a prostitute. Because when I asked her what she would say when meeting a boy in short shorts at school she replied: ‘ love?’ and she accused me of wanting to exploit the story “.
