The bus is not equipped to accommodate people with disabilities and the whole class gives up the scheduled trip to Barcelona before taking the high school exam.
The protagonists of the story are the boys who attend the last year of the linguistic high school of Frigento, in the province of Avellino , who, a few days before departure, huddled around their companion, confined to a wheelchair due to a serious disability, after the company of travel had communicated to the institute of not having platforms and cabins to allow the transport of the student.
The decision was immediate: «We won't leave without him». A stance shared by all the other students of the Frigento campus and of the lead one in Grottaminarda. The headmaster, Attilio Lieto, naturally sided with them: «I'm proud of my boys: we'll get to work right away to reorganize the trip. Which, of course, we will all do together ».
On the nice gesture, but above all to criticize the lack of the transport service, the Minister of Tourism intervenes, Daniela Santanché: «I can only applaud the behavior of the class, but it is unacceptable that these things happen in 2023. An episode that a nation like Italy cannot and must not afford».
