Happy Diada (with four exclamations)!!!!

To celebrate and encourage the Diada with coherence, the High Court of Justice of Catalonia "has annulled a large part of the decree on the linguistic regime that the government of Pere Aragonès approved to protect Catalan as the vehicular language in schools and prevent the implementation of linguistic percentages." we read in the ARAThe Assembly for a Bilingual School group (which presents itself to the world with a not-very-bilingual name) demanded its repeal and has succeeded. The president of the Generalitat (Catalan government) has said: "We will not allow anyone to make political use of the language, because that is the worst thing you can do to promote coexistence. Catalan must continue to be an inclusive, unique, and transversal language for the country and the school."

At this point in the series, what I think is that it's better for them to take action. That they listen to a small group of parents. It's much better to always listen to a small group of parents than to the educators, the politicians we've voted for, the linguists, and even the students themselves. Because students often wouldn't want to see their parents lose weight, attract attention, and hog the microphones, always opposing and furious, using, perhaps banally, the term more often than necessary. justiceI would ban that language, which was here centuries before them. I would ban it again, because it doesn't originate here, and being a pain in the ass, being the pain in the ass of those who have everything and complain, suits us very well. I can put up with grumpy people, brimming with free time, making a fuss. I can put up with being their pain in the ass. What I won't put up with is their cynicism. I'm not Mary Poppins's little boy, who "with a little sugar" swallowed the pill. I don't want to feel again that by "unshielding" Catalan we're protecting Castilian—this language so dear to me—because I'm not yet completely idiotic. And it's not the languages, poor things, that compete, but the people. Happy Diada!
