A school, a girl under 14 and her way of dressing have reopened an old debate in Canarian classrooms. Making it clear that one thing is to fill your mouth talking about sexual education and another, very different, to practice it.
The commotion that a simple top has caused is all a symptom, a bad symptom, of how much it costs to end prejudices. Because that’s what the matter is about: the decorum, or not, with which the students dress, in the eyes of the management.
A student body that is, by the way, not only more aware of their rights; but social networks to express themselves freely against a norm that they neither understand nor share.
In these issues of sexuality in the classroom, always nuanced and controversial, it is convenient to put the focus where it belongs: on the values of equality and tolerance. It is they, and not the student, who are in question.
