When he was suspended because he did not have a vaccine or a swab result, he decided to organize himself differently.
He showed up in front of the school and, not being able to enter the classroom, he began to give an outdoor lesson-protest weaving a wicker basket, complete with placards and leaflets against what he called "social blackmail".
The protagonist is Matteo Barale, 52-year-old teacher of Topography at the Virgilio Institute for Surveyors, in Cuneo, and has been in service for 33 years.
"The pass is a discrimination, a social blackmail that does not allow me to work - writes the teacher in an open letter to his students -. My father was a partisan: it seems to be back in that period, when to work you had to show the card. Fascist. I asked the boys to think for themselves, not to accept blackmail. I'm not afraid to lose my job, my partisan father taught me curiosity and courage: I'll do something else. But I'm here for the boys, so that they understand that they have to fight for their ideas. The school's task is to train new citizens ".
And again: "If I do not undergo diagnostic swabs whose unreliability rate is certified by the same Istituto Superiore di Sanità and I also decide not to be injected with experimental sera, I will be cut off? Do you really believe that the Green pass will be able to contain the infections? I believe that it will only produce so much discrimination by dividing us and fueling the anger that arises from an absurd 'pass' and from psychological, social and media pressure ”.
