Faced with a further cut to freedom, we win the streets
Tested in Murcia since September, he "Trifacho" aims to extend the so-called "parental pin" to regions where they govern. But what are we talking about? Is it necessary to limit the content that children receive in schools? Here our opinion.
Several days ago, promoted by the right and the extreme right has gained a new debate means. And is that with the formation of the new government, They are trying to meddle in the lives of all citizens and they want to do from a new attack on education.
The so-called "pin parental", that since September applies in Murcia, It is a written request that is addressed to the directors of schools whereby parents request the authorities to previously inform them on any matter , chat, workshop or activity affecting gender identity issues, feminism and diversity, among other.
to Vox, PP and Cs increased femicidios, violations and attacks on members of the LGBTIQ community is an invention of the media, therefore it is a reality that denies. But they can not ignore each 8 March are hundreds of thousands throughout the country doing strike, or whenever femicide which are hundreds took to the streets to demand justice. The "parental pin" is wanting to cover the sun with a finger. Crop rights of children to education only encourage inequality, in a world that daily fight for greater equality.
We trifacho believe that there should be a question we educate society to live in or for family living? In 1848 Karl Marx wrote in the Communist Manifesto “Education is critical in the transmission and perpetuation of the dominant ideology must subtract from the domestic sphere making social ".
What he wants Vox in the Murcia region is primarily the inability of the lower rightful owner of fundamental rights that the Constitution ascribes (except for the rights of political participation), thus they are tied to the ideology that dominates the domestic sphere.
When analyzing this new measure, we must bear in mind that children are a liability, not a property, and it is the state that is obliged to ensure their protection, for their rights (the childhood and adolescence) are respected. This division of roles, where the obligations incumbent on the State, responsibilities to parents and when we talk about rights we refer to minors, It is not invention of Celaá Minister, neither of the PSOE and United We Can. It is the result of the legal system on which the whole system is based protection to children and adolescents from the 80s.
Reading the aim of the Trifacho a question must be asked, Who is intrusive or controversial content? For children, for parents or for a system that aims asleep without us own thinking? It is essential to provide the least a degree of autonomy that is based on psychological freedom and the ability of choice when developing their personal development from a critical perspective, based on values such as respect and coexistence from the individual and collective rights. There are times when maybe the child is not able to choose for himself, but in that sense the power of parents is not to decide on their children, there is no right of parents over the consciences of their children, but in that case the parents have a mere power to "guide".
With this cut back on freedoms, Vox seeks to rely even in the Constitution, exactly the art. 27.3, also taking in this regard the support of the governing PP in Murcia with Citizens. But it is wrong to interpret this article in isolation, and think that parents have the power to pass on to their children a dimensional view of the world. The interests of the right and the extreme right are clear, when they speak of Catalonia quickly they speak about the unconstitutionality of the situation and the implementation of the art. 155. When talking about the constitutionality of the "parental pin", even they dare to invoke her so far out afloat, risking a comprehensive education that contributes to the free development of personality and autonomy of children.
Suffice it to say that this new "parental veto" obvious various interpretations at the legislative level, for example to the international level International Convention of the Rights of the Child (Convention which incidentally, Vox is unchecked), and nationally Organic Law 11/1996 Legal Protection of Minors, in which, away from the concept that projects the far-right party, such legislation conceive the child, not as a mere object of protection and ownership of parents but as a citizen and subject of rights, This has important consequences in the field of freedom of conscience.
Unfreedom , want to advance against rights won, threaten education, are the right tools and his henchmen when they want to go against a society already he said more than once Not one step back. State Socialism and Freedom from Spanish and Boards and the Left will defend our rights where we do best, on the streets and organized. So the next 6 March we adhere to the strike called by the student union, against the Franco involution of the "parental pin" each and every strike!
