Teachers and judges, even fighting the revolution

Teachers and judges, even combat.

Strike and Day of Action of teacher unions and the judiciary today. I strike too. The France 2 news evokes benefit the black robes and red (an unprecedented mobilization since 1990, apparently) than the "gray smocks. It is true that judges are "shake" so much more dramatic (80% of courts are affected, against just 17% of strikers in Education, according to the Ministry). And then, the strikes of teachers, this is not new and everyone who cares a little (except "parents in galley" to keep their kids in the words of honeyed Elise Lucet).

Yet there is a real convergence of interest between these two movements. They face the same problems: questionable and painful reforms to digest, increasing performance requirements for average falling. And relevant personnel are subject to the same contempt from their ministries and the Head of State. There would not have much to scratch to find other professionals in the public sector (hospitals, Post, SNCF) affected by the same evils. So what to do, as Lenin said?

An umpteenth day of action, with loss of pay for anything? Or a more radical call for civil disobedience against a power that sacrifices the national interest to the financial markets? And the republican legality in that? France is not in Tunisia, or Egypt, is not it ... we are a democracy, right?

A democracy whose Constitution allows a party that meets less than a third of voters to obtain an absolute majority in the National Assembly. A democracy that promotes heavily on executive power, including that of president, which increases its grip on the media and key sectors with the support of a clique of businessmen. A democracy that allows its police to gassing peaceful protesters. A democracy that trembles scared when other people, not so far away, rebel. A democracy that does not dream as a model: China's Hu Jintao ... so stable, so effectively until proven otherwise.

Just wait until 2012, and many vote, of course! Voting for the PS, the machine to lose? Because only vote (and vote Green, as innocuous as a potato bio) has reasonable for the media. You want to resume the "plural left" sauce European-compatible? Nobody really wants, so the midget and his band have a bright future ahead of them. Unless ... if what? Nothing, nothing ... a misfortune happens so quickly.

It will take me to the book provides Julien Coupat: Insurrection comes. With Manual Zombie Survival, by Max Brooks (Mel's son), I think I'm ready for the twenty-first century.

Revolution papyrus and its avatars.

Yes, yes, that's how it is baptized events of Egypt, and the imminent fall of Mubarak released by his American friends! No offense to those who, like me, had planned umpteenth holiday on the south shore of the Mediterranean, throughout the region following the bad example of Tunisia. Yemen agitated ("the revolution of gum arabic"?), Jordan rumbles ("the revolution sands "?), Syria trembles (" the revolution of the date palm?) pending Algeria ("the revolution of couscous?), Morocco ("the revolution of mint tea?") and other ...

Meanwhile, the West is divided into two: those who applaud and those who whine. In the middle, the French leaders, trapped by their "realism" and their compromises. Farewell cheap holidays for MAM et al. As for the poor Bougrab Jeannette, here it is convened and lectured at Matignon for calling too early departure of our friend Mubarak.

Regarding Egypt, I would tend to agree with my opinion of Elie Barnavi, who welcomed little and rightly points out that this country has nothing to do with Tunisia. No large educated middle class in the land of the Pharaohs, but a very popular powerful Islamism, only organized political force in the country after the army. The destabilization of the largest country in the Arab world can never be good news.

In Israel, a country of origin Barnavi, tightening the buttocks. Could it finally time to regret, dear friends, all of sabotaging peace efforts undertaken since 1993? Belching Zionist protesters Tahrir Square not bode well. Yet had he not give them so much grist for 18 years.

Repression blind.

No need to go to exotic lands to observe security forces and brutal misguided. The video of the exploits of some policemen did the buzz. On 21 January, peaceful demonstrators in the region of Anduze have committed the crime to delay the departure of the Cevennes steam train, on which were seated the president of the greater metropolitan area of Greater Ales and sub- Prefect of the corner. Reason? A dark history of communal grouping disputed by some villages. The blocking of the train was symbolic, the procession made up of people whose average age should be close to 50 years.

Without warning, coldly, the commander of the gendarmes opened hostilities with blows of pepper spray in his face. The stampede that follows provides an excuse to use the tonfa and make a few wounded. No luck, the modern gadgets have enabled a rapid and media dissemination of facts on the internet. Stroke of luck, the events of the Arab world have facilitated the cover-up in our mainstream media.

There is evidence that our police are not racist: they also repress movements mood of deepest France.

below the school's "digital".

A recent article Duck chained , echoing a book Florent Goujet, discusses the folly of rampant digital switchover in teaching French. It reveals profound dangers, and especially the ulterior objectives: to transform teachers into mere agents of atmosphere, convenience stores bugs and docile executors of transmission of content they have mastered more. Less skilled workers, recruited in a hurry and disposable charge of supervising public more glued to their screens. Three years ago, I remember a discussion with colleagues on a forum devoted to ICT (Information Technology and Communication Applied to Education). I had made the same point, and emphasized that wherever the computer had been introduced, stable jobs were destroyed, and there was no reason for education to escape the rule. I was as it should be regarded as overly pessimistic. There are times it is like to have been wrong.
