"Either you cover yourself up or you completely undress ".
Storm on the professor of a high school in Rome , the "Plinio Seniore".
A student accused him of making heavy sexist remarks to her . In one episode in particular, while she took off her sweatshirt and remained in a sporty top, he would have told her that at that point she could undress .
Then he would continue to target her with sexist phrases until he even involved a classmate, labeling him as gay. According to what was reported by the students, he said, referring to the girl: "She is so sexy that you change sides".
"The episode reported by the student is very serious - commented Daniele Parrucci, Managing Director of the schools of the Metropolitan City of Rome -. We await the necessary internal checks that the Headmaster is conducting, to actually know the outlines of the story. The fact remains. that every episode of sexism and homophobia must be condemned without appeal , especially if it occurs in school clothes, where students must feel safe ".
"The role of teachers' educators cannot admit exceptions, on the contrary, it must be a positive example to follow. Already in the past - Parrucci observes - some student collectives had denounced episodes of sexism and homophobia; no type of harassment and discrimination can be tolerated , for this reason we reaffirm our closeness to those who report these situations and to those who suffer similar attitudes ".
"A serious, sexist and verbally violent behavior: an unsafe atmosphere inside the school", the words of the boys and girls of the Collective 20 November.
"What the school does not teach us but which unfortunately shows us is that a root of sexism and homophobia remains in our society, even in the places of knowledge, which should be places of learning free from discrimination and safe for everyone and everyone. generations will still have to pass before you can go to school without receiving about your clothing or hugs that are too tight or unwanted stares? clear position of the school regarding what happened ".
