The new Spanish government, presided over by Pedro Sánchez decided to dismantle the education system put in place by the former minister of the 39, Education of the Partido Popular (PP)), Jose Ignacio Wert
Has so resisted and so criticized, that the President of the Rajoy era, enemy of any change, had to twist his arm and l 39; send with a diplomatic post in Paris. Among the things that Wert had changed, there was the removal of the subject "Citizenship Education" created by the previous Socialist Government and, instead, the subject of the Catholic religion, which, though not compulsory, had the same scope. final score of the student. It is a subtle way to make it mandatory without pretending to be.
The new government, considering that Spain is a secular country, but really secular and not only in appearance as in our government, decided that the subject of religion count in the final score and return the subject " Education for citizenship ", although it will have another name for the new one does not relate to that.
On several previous occasions I have insisted on the need for our young people to have a subject similar to the school. Of course, this must seem subversive to politicians who have no interest in citizenship, and especially young people, to know what their rights are, what their obligations are and what they may be required to do . to their representatives.
Young people must learn the operation of justice, so that they are able to evaluate, to their appropriate extent, the behavior of judges; or rather the good and the bad behavior of the judges. In those days, they could have had abundant material for their studies and their end-of-year work badyzing the torrent of amparos, challenges, rejections, recriminations and all the possible legal and invented figures to which the politicians and their paniaguados were entitled. who tried to violate the Constitution so that they could enter as active senators Nicanor Duarte Frutos and Horacio Maps. Making young people and citizens, in general, aware of the magnitude of all these fraudulent schemes is really subversive, and no politician is determined to tie the rope around his neck when he can spend a heavenly vacation in Cancun or on the beaches of Miami
In a "WhatsApp" we sent a few days ago a fragment of a speech of Barack Obama while it was was still president, in front of a group of supporters who asked him to apply again. He explained to his disciples that this was not possible because of what the law says about it, and concluded, "No one can be above the law. Not even the president of the United States. "And at that moment, he was the most powerful man on the Earth, and of course, seeing who succeeded him makes us think, even for a moment:" Obama, why did not you you're not violating the Constitution? "But it's the game of democracy that gives us the opportunity to have excellent, good, regular or scary leaders.
All of this, we must teach our young people , which are already, at this stage of the events, the last hope that we must have, at a given moment, a country in which we can live safely, even if we think, pray and create differently.
