Italian school inclusion message removals

Overview

Incidents involving the removal of school inclusion messages have emerged in Italy. In Genoa, plainclothes police officers removed a banner titled ‘Qui nessun* è stranier*’ (Here no one is a stranger) from the Daneo primary school. The banner was a protest against a government decree proposing a 30% cap on foreign students. While police returned the banner after confirming it was placed by parents, the incident prompted an internal investigation and criticism from local officials, including Mayor Silvia Salis, who called the removal a ‘grave’ act.

In Crotone, a separate incident occurred at the Barlacchi-Lucifero Institute, where a school principal allegedly tore down a poster reading ‘A scuola nessuno è straniero’ (At school, no one is a stranger). The FLC CGIL trade union filed a complaint, alleging the principal justified the removal by claiming students were taking a ‘political position’. The union argued that promoting inclusion is a constitutional principle rather than a partisan act and criticized the principal for failing to engage in dialogue with students.
