Well, There has been a big to do here this last couple of days. On top of a big strike
and getting my job extended for another year there is the growing problem of new
nazism here in this commune. We have a group of kids who have been getting very
interested in white power music. And since school start this has been escaluting from
music to t shirts and now on Thursday kids had enscribed a nazi symbol on their arm
with razor blades.
Over this period we have been warning the teachers and school leadership of the
problem and they have completely ignored it. So on Thursday evening when the communal
govvernment had a public session which gives ordinary people the right to pose a
simple question to the politicians I went.
Naturally everybody noticed when I walked in and were wondering what Malecki was going
to do now being that all this stuff during the week had been going on with my job.
Perhaps they thought I was goiung to take up this stuff.
Interestingly enough they put this part of the meeting at the beginning and being that
this meeting drew a full house my question dropped down like a bomb out of the sky. I
simply asked that those responsible for childrens education "what they were going to
do with the new nazi tendency that has developed in school" Being a public meeting and
forced to reply to the question they said that they would take up this question
immediately!
Being that I was the only person from the public who posed a question they attem,pted
to go on with the meeting as if nothing had happened. But the newspapers were there
and trade union bureaucrats who immediately came to me and wanted to know what was
going on.
So I told them that we are extremely worried about this stuff and it appears that the
teachers and commune have no policy to deal with it nor want to. THey hope it will go
over. Got it on to the front pages of the daily newspapers in a tiny little article up
here and now we have been invited to the teachers conference on Monday to discuss this
stuff. First time ever!
Already I am getting Nazi death threats on the phone.
And phone calls of why did you do this and give the commune a bad name.
And others who thanked me for my "civil courage".
Interestingly enough the left party (Ex cp) representatives started screaming about
the need to control the Internet in school during the break and I said bullshit. I am
against forbidding kids to use the Internet.
I even got myself reported to the cops by one of the parents to the kids who had
inscribed the nazi symbol in his arm.
So next week is gonna be crazy as everybody is forced to take up something they all
have been trying to ignore for months now.
