  • Education: Murcia lowers the 'parental pin': police officers, doctors or judges can give talks without parental permission

"I refuse and I have refused to request that parental permission", starts the speech of Diego Reina who has made him the first objector, at least explicitly, to the parental pin in the Region of Murcia. And he has done so by allowing a talk to his students about humanism and Renaissance by the professor of the University of Murcia Pedro Alberto Cruz , who was adviser of Culture and Tourism of the Region of Murcia between 2008 and 2014.

"We have transgressed that norm," continues Reina, "I considered that it was much more important to ask you because it is already well that politicians, teachers and parents think that at your age you do not have the maximum capacity to think and to decide what education you want to receive. " The teacher is directed to an auditorium full of students, who are encouraged with the course of the statement, as can be seen in a video published by the Cadena Ser.

"When unfair norms, when norms that do not make any sense, when norms that are born of barbarism and that are against the rhythm of the civilization that we have taken, are not complied with," continues the teacher, "on the one hand, being the State I may be the subject of at least one information file, but that information file would be a medal because I have defended your freedom from oppression. " That oppression, he says, against "the values ​​emanating in part from that Renaissance humanism that we are studying."

"If we were afraid we would not live in democracy"

"It may be that one of the consequences is that this file is opened to me but I have absolutely no fear," he says, "because if we were afraid we would live under another regime and not under democracy." The audience bursts into applause. "A humble act in a small hall of an institute with a few students cannot stop barbarism," jelly, "but if in the entire 20th century no one had put their little grain of sand to stop the involution, to stop this barbarism, we would not be in the 21st century. "

Diego Reina ends his speech with a personal claim: "We must never leave and under no circumstances fight for our rights and for our freedom, be it in the field of life that is." "A fundamental objective [of the parental pin ] is that there are no associations that defend the sexual diversity of gays and lesbians who come to give you talks. That is the fundamental objective," he says, "here we are the professors that we proudly carry our sexual orientation. "
