This article may contain traces of Francoism

A module of the cover ofThe reasonreports the following: "The Socialists want to introduce an anti-Franco plan into school curricula." Unacceptable! Intolerable! What's next? Teaching students to resolve their differences without resorting to kicking them in the testicles? The fact that they consider teaching that a dictatorship is not an acceptable political system to be indoctrination clearly demonstrates the intellectual foundation that nourishes this milieu. The fact that they consider it reprehensible to show all the repression and suppression of rights that Franco's regime entailed implies taking a very specific side of history. And it's not a friendly side. Inside, the subtitle is: "Sánchez seeks to introduce his anti-Franco plan" into schools. This use of the term anti-Franco I am fascinated by it, because it is clear that there is a pejorative intention. As if we had to understand poor Franco, qualify him, and above all, forget thatwe didn't live that badly either.

All this is being done by the same newspaper that a few years ago applauded until it bled when the then Minister of Education, José Ignacio Wert, announced that he had proposed "Spanishizing" Catalan students. There are still those who search the pages of Planeta's newspaper for a denunciation of the indoctrination this entailed. At the time, there were several opinion pieces portraying classrooms as a monolingual dictatorship, although it's enough to have a little background to know that Spanish is very present in the classroom, aside from the empty word of the immersion law. Spanishization is a grind. Democratization, not so much anymore. And then the newspaper most closely aligned with the PP will lament (with crocodile tears) having to make a pact with Vox.
