Introduction Elisa:
\u0026lt;\u0026lt;Often, acts of discrimination are also actors who would rather own the task of eliminating discrimination, such as a school administrator in this case, and give opportunities to all students to be treated as equals. For once though, fortunately, the facts show us that solidarity and friendship have passed all unrighteousness.>>
And now here's the article .. .
" If he can not come on the trip, we will not even us. " There is no age to rebel against injustice, as they teach the students of a middle school in Catanzaro who protested against the head teacher, who did not want to authorize participation in the outputs of a classmate's syndrome Down. The episode, which dates back to about ten days ago, was made public by the Advocate Ida Mendicino, responsible for coordinating regional integration. It all begins in January, when the executive refuses to participate Thomas (the name is fictional) in a day of orientation in high school, because "there was nobody to accompany him."
The strong protest of the mother of Thomas, who had almost occupied the chair of the institute, causing the arrival of the police. When people calmed down the situation seems to come back. Instead, he reconstructs the lawyer Mendicino, about ten days ago, the ruling shows the teachers' intention not to authorize any future release of the student with Down syndrome. " It goes in the class of fourteen asking friends not to let him know the dates of future trips and outings, giving reasons for the request with "the inability to learn the same because of his genetic illness." The words of the principal causes the reaction of the boys, which gives voice to a teenager, the girl sure they would rather give up despite all the trips to see not discriminated against their partner.
In the days after the new episode is aware of the family of Thomas, who shall inform the Regional Coordination for integration. Immediate reaction: "This is an important sign of change in a generation often accused of excessive individualism and lack of sense of solidarity - said the lawyer Mendicino -. A round of applause to the boys of the institution including Catanzaro, which proved true hope of maturation of the social fabric than the examples often come from the adult world. " The
Mendicino, who is also national advisor Tuberous Sclerosis Association, makes clear that any have been informed of the Regional Education Office and the provincial, as well as the Ministry of Education. It points out that just in recent weeks, a period traditionally dedicated to the organization of school trips, there are many similar cases reported in Italy. "Many times coaches are not equipped with wheelchair lifts to load, but often the problems are caused lack of teacher support. The legislation - which concludes the professional - provides that any school in the institution may become available to accompany a disabled person. In high school a student can do the same age. " But who knows?
In 1948 the UN issued the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It seems that in Italy human rights are well respected, but unfortunately not always the case. I refer to recent articles of the Declaration: "Everyone has the right to work, " ... " has the right to equal pay for equal work" (23 ° Article) "Everyone has the right to rest" (Art. 24 °), "Everyone has the right to an adequate standard of living " ... "
and has the right to security in the event of unemployment " (Art. 25 °).
These rights are not always exercised here in Italy, it shows my own personal experience. It happened years ago so I do not remember the exact date.
One day I saw a textile factory "paperback" located in Via Castruccio Castracane. Felt by some that in there well repaired clothes, then in one of those days I had brought with them a pair of torn trousers to try to mend. When I walked into the room, I saw
who were all Chinese, some worked, others rested. While waiting
that those who sewed my pants with special machines, ended the
work, I started talking to some who were resting. It will be that the Chinese are like them, but those people willingly spoke with me. You could not say that they were running out of arguments. I learned that they all came from Qintian, the same country as one of my classmate (Xin, thou hast company. Eh eh!). They were in Italy for seek his fortune, but had found "mange & bad luck" for them to leave for Italy was the worst decision ever taken, they would never earn enough, even for the trip of a person. I was wondering why, when the sewers ended the mending of my pants. The operation cost me only € 5. That's because they were still poor, have little power to customers, they had lowered their prices dramatically, but this was not enough, you know, just to survive everything is being done.
Unfortunately this is only one of the many violations of human rights. Obviously the fact that such incidents are common does not justify at all, even the press should take a greater interest in these cases, it could well deal with it, if only acknowledged its importance. Or perhaps, to care should be the government?

\u0026lt; ; \u0026lt;All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law>>: these are the words recited in the seventh article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights drafted by the UN Organization ( United Nations), of which Italy is part
. But it is true that we are all considered equal before the law? It 's true that these rights are truly respected? Unfortunately no, not always complied with, and this happens often in our country. A case of violation of rights, and in particular the right to equality before the law, happened just last February 2 when it was presented to the House a bill which is entitled''changes to Part II of the Constitution
to ensure the governability of the country''and that provides for the suspension of investigations and trials against Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi for the term of his office as Prime Minister. And here is the article that is violated because Berlusconi is considered a privileged view of the man his job, and then we are not all equal before the law. I think if a man has committed a crime is right that you pay for them and has no more a person plays the role, because first
Berlusconi is a man like all who committed some of the inappropriate actions and must be punished as a common citizen would be punished. Again we see a form of discrimination and injustice to those who do not have enough money and power to allow a law not to attend the trial against him, or return them. Another case, closer to us, it happened in 2007 when she was killed manslaughter in the metropolitan area of \u200b\u200bRome an Italian girl in a fight with an immigrant Romanian named Doina Matei (a girl of age just with a difficult life shoulder that forced her into prostitution). Romanian furiously against all judges makes it stop and sentenced to maximum sentence, 16 years in prison. She was not recognized nessun'attenuante and all the aggravating factors were applied. This is despite several witnesses confirm the randomness of the dispute and struggle (the death was caused by the tip of an umbrella stuck in the eye) el'autopsia killed the girl confirmed that the latter was under the influence of a large dose of cocaine, morphine and methadone and had the worse in a fight which was also responsible for her and this is not it racism? Here, too, confirms the fact that we are not all treated equally before the law. The judges, in fact, had already condemned the Romanian girl label with the stereotype of''dangerous''Rumanian prostitute and unreliable. The judges should be impartial, have strong prejudices that are impacting on the work, all at the expense of immigrants and most defenseless people. It is said that hope is the last to die and then there is nothing left but to hope that the prejudices and stereotypes that go diminishing returns in our country and a bit 'of justice, but this time the real one.

Dear all, since the outcome of the survey, the next page of the blog will be dedicated to films that talks the issue of discrimination. Started to recommend movie titles for our upcoming film club! Away with the proposals ...
Today we talk and we hear, increasingly, immigrants "illegal immigrants" who kill, steal and rape people. We always discriminate against this part of the society ', these people, because on television and in newspapers always hear and read news reports that "tarnish" its reputation
and we never stop to think ...
Thinking ... that our State, like any state, accept immigrants from our country for fear that they become an economic burden, and then do their best to reject them and hunt them.
... To think that the media are controlled by the government or by people who reject immigrants, then, that the Italians killed 10 people, and immigrants will kill 5, they come to our ears, thanks to the media, only 5 murders of immigrants ...
... To think that we also once we were Italian immigrants and the U.S. so they treated us like we treat immigrants in our country ...
... To think that when we were immigrants were forced to do menial jobs and sometimes very exhausting.
... To think that we were discriminated against, but not only by Americans but also by other Europeans who moved there long ago.
... To think that we were given the derogatory nicknames like "dago, Mafia-men and macaroni."
... To think that we as a reputed mafia, eat pizza and were keen that we should go dinners.
... To think that maybe people should think a little 'more' and discriminate a little 'less.

Even the Italians are a nation of immigrants. Most went to America. It worked like this: the Italians to go to America struggled to afford the ticket, but there's more! They had a long journey in a ship where they lived for days in a situation of poor sanitation and so could contract the disease. Once you arrive at your destination, then they should do tests to check their health status. Those who had an illness should return to Italy, because the U.S. government did not want "social burdens." Those who appeared eligible and could remain in the U.S., but had to endure the racism of the Americans against the Italians. The Americans were in fact jokes on them like: "Why do Italians wear to the funeral the body on only two?" "Why are the garbage cans only have two handles." Or when saw an Italian road to pick up a bit 'of money playing a barrel organ said, "It 's an era of infernal machines, but this is the worst of all."
So the Americans were not happy when we went there.
