In the midst of national polarization for the so -called popular consultation, AD PORTS OF STRIKE IN THE COUNTRY MAY 28 AND 29, A PHYLET THAT TEACHERS ASSKED TO FECODE (Colombian Federation of Educators) are delivering students unleashed the controversy.
Édgar Romero, second vice president of FECODE, justified the distribution of the booklet among the students. In these cards, students show the popular consultation promoted by the president, Gustavo Petro, is the way.
“We are going to participate under the orientation of the social and political summit following what is happening with the sinking of the popular consultation, the sinking of labor reform, a country reason, a reason for society, a reason for the educator, a reason for the worker,” said the manager, confirming that this May 28 and 29 will leave about five million students from public institutions without classes.
When the manager was consulted why they go on strike if FECODE is a “spoiled” of the Government, the manager replied: “We are fighting the Organic Law of Competencies so that children and young people have better food, have better transport, have better working conditions, so that schools have the structure. Is that a sin that the educator claims those conditions, which claims for their parents, for their students, for their students, for their students, for their students, for their parents?
His statements, given to Blu Radio colleagues, were rising when they justified that they are Distributing cards to students, many of them minors, who do not know what a popular consultation is, in which it is read that the popular consultation is ideal, historical.
“The history of Colombia was poorly conceived and when the different thought, critical thinking, as in this case of claiming their rights, becomes in force, then we are questioned, we are stigmatized, we are persecuted, we are misunderstood, but still we have the duty, the right to find a way that what we see in the injustices in the communities, the needs of the communities, Working conditions for workers in Colombia, ”said Primary Professor.
The teacher continued defending the card. “I believe that society should not be deprived of that. In the educational act you should not deprive of that, to talk to a father, talk to you, the journalists, this exercise we are doing. I believe that this country needs. And I believe that that is what is being wondered, but it is not that they are designing. Pasteing cards to the students, inviting them to the consultation, explaining the consultation. Indoctrination, no. This is what happened in all these, in all these times, when they told us that we had to teach the story as they wanted. Can the questions be socialized with the students? It is a question that I also return to you, should students know those 12 questions, 16 now? Is it a sin that knows them? ”He said.
“Children and young people can discuss and have contrary positions and must be respected. They should be respected discussions and debates and analysis. It is that debates and analysis can be given from schools,” Romero insisted, while insisted that they were not indoctrinating students. The issue is that the card, for example, does not have a single questioning of the popular consultation.
“Then, how do you have to teach democracy in an educational institution? So, teaching democracy is to teach the political concept you have,” annoyed. “The professors’ booklet comes out at a historic moment of an advent to the popular consultation and perhaps it was done with that intention. What are we going to say that we agree or not agree on the discussion of that political fact that is in the country? For there has to be some material to discuss it. Now, what I do not know is what you are saying, if that will be applied to primary school or secondary school.”
As he said, businessmen are behind the cards that students see in schools currently and, therefore, he feels the right to expose that other, defending the popular consultation. In the end, the discussion with the teacher became heated and he defended to provide cards to the students defending Petro’s popular consultation.
